Properties in Totnes at the head of the River Dart estuary include a significant number of historic merchants houses built during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is said that this location has more listed buildings per person than any other town. Fitting modern laundry appliances into older properties can present challenges, as older floorboards can flex during a heavy wash cycle, transferring movement to the appliance. Washing machines require a stable base to operate correctly. When a washing machine is not sitting completely level, the drum can vibrate excessively on the spin cycle. This movement puts extra strain on the suspension legs and the door seal, which can eventually lead to leaks from the front of the machine. Other faults develop internally over time. A machine that will not drain or spin indicates a blockage in the pump area or a failed drain pump. If the appliance trips the electrics, the issue is a degraded heating element or a faulty motor. We also look at machines that will not fill or start, diagnosing door locks that refuse to open or close and investigating error codes displayed on the control panel. During a visit, we diagnose draining, spinning, filling and heating faults directly in your home. Our repair service covers leaks from seals, hoses and the pump area, as well as noisy drums and excessive vibration on spin. We investigate machines that trip the electrics or show error codes, and we resolve issues with door locks and doors that will not open or close.

Call 01752 922765A loud banging noise during the spin cycle points to a mechanical failure. The suspension legs that support the drum can wear out, or the concrete counterweights might become loose. Another cause is worn drum bearings, which allow the inner drum to move excessively. We diagnose noisy drums and excessive vibration on spin in your home.
When a machine will not drain, the water cannot leave the drum to allow the spin cycle to start. This is caused by a blockage in the pump filter, an obstruction in the waste hose, or a broken drain pump. We investigate draining faults and check the pump area to find the source of the blockage.
A door that will not open is a safety feature activated when the machine detects water still inside the drum. If the drum is empty, the door interlock mechanism or the handle itself has failed. We look at door locks and doors that will not open or close, diagnosing the fault directly in your home.
