Know the home, know the fault

As an ancient wool settlement positioned between Exeter and Newton Abbot, the housing stock in this part of the Teign Valley has an interesting history. A massive fire in 1807 burned down more than half of the dwellings, meaning many of the older properties date from the rebuilding period. Whether a washing machine is installed in a rebuilt period cottage near the edge of Dartmoor or a newer property, the physical demands on the appliance remain the same. Heavy loads of outdoor clothing from walks around Haldon Forest can put extra strain on drum bearings and suspension systems. When a washing machine is used for bulky items, excessive vibration on spin is a known issue. This vibration can lead to internal components working loose, which can result in leaks from seals, hoses or the pump area. A machine that will not drain or spin might have a blockage in the filter, caused by debris left in pockets. We also investigate heating faults, where the water does not reach the correct temperature, and electrical issues that cause the appliance to trip the electrics or display error codes. Door locks can fail mechanically or electronically, leaving doors that will not open or close properly. When travelling to a repair in Chudleigh Knighton or the main town, we carry out a full diagnosis of draining, spinning, filling and heating faults. Our domestic appliance repair service involves examining the machine in your home to find the cause of a drum that will not turn or an appliance that will not start. Please note that while we repair electric ovens and hobs, we do not work on gas cookers or any gas appliance.

A machine that will not spin or finish its cycle might be detecting an unbalanced load, especially if washing heavy items like towels. It can also point to a blockage in the pump or filter preventing the water from draining. We diagnose draining and spinning faults by inspecting the pump, filter and motor components in your home.

Leaks from the front of the appliance are typically caused by a damaged or degraded door seal. Over time, the rubber gasket can develop tears from zips or buttons, or it might accumulate mould that prevents the glass from sealing correctly. We look at leaks from seals, hoses and the pump area during our visit.

Noisy drums and excessive vibration on spin are signs of a mechanical failure. This might be worn drum bearings, damaged suspension legs, or a loose concrete counterweight. Operating the appliance with these faults can cause further internal damage. We examine the suspension and bearing assemblies to determine why the drum is vibrating excessively.
