Know the home, know the fault

Properties in a rural environment surrounded by woodland and agricultural fields can mean washing machines work hard dealing with muddy outdoor clothing. Settlements set on a peninsula between two rivers within a protected national landscape feature a mix of housing, including historic architecture like buildings dating back to the seventeenth century. In older properties, utility spaces might be retrofitted into extensions or outbuildings, which can expose appliances to cooler ambient temperatures during the winter months. When a machine is dealing with heavy loads of soiled outdoor gear, excessive vibration on spin can become an issue if the appliance is not sitting level on a solid floor. A noisy drum might indicate worn bearings or a foreign object trapped between the inner drum and the outer tub. Machines that will not drain or spin are sometimes suffering from a blockage in the pump area, where debris from pockets gathers. We diagnose filling and heating faults, investigate leaks from door seals or internal hoses, and look at doors that will not open or close due to a faulty lock mechanism. If an appliance trips the electrics or displays error codes, the issue could be a degraded heating element or a motor fault. The route requires navigating narrow country lanes and a narrow bridge to reach the village. While travelling past landmarks like Maynard's School or heading onwards to nearby towns such as Gunnislake, Yelverton and Tavistock, we provide in-home repairs. Once at your property, we examine the appliance to find out why it will not start, fill, spin or drain, checking the pump, motor, seals and electronics to locate the fault.

A loud banging noise during the spin cycle usually points to an unbalanced load or a machine that is not sitting level on the floor. If the appliance is completely level, the noise might be caused by worn suspension legs or degraded drum bearings. We can inspect the drum and suspension components to diagnose the vibration.

A door that refuses to open at the end of a cycle is usually caused by a faulty door lock mechanism or water remaining in the drum. If the machine detects water, it keeps the door locked. We look at the pump area for blockages and test the door interlock to find out why it will not release.

When an appliance trips the electrics during a wash cycle, the heating element is a likely suspect. Over time, the internal insulation of the element can break down, allowing electrical current to leak to earth. We test the heating element and the associated wiring to diagnose heating faults and electrical tripping issues in your home.
