Common Washing Machine Repairs

CAI Appliance Services Perth 5 min 1 1

If you’ve noticed problems with your washing machine, we encourage you to schedule a repair with our mobile repair technicians as soon as possible. We service all major washing machine brands and models. The sooner you identify and resolve the issue, the less likely further damages will be caused.

Here are common problems you might be experiencing:

  • Washing machine bounces around – If your washing machine is bouncing around or vibrating excessively it may be due to an unlevel surface. This can be due to poor construction or a wooden floor which has weakened over time. Worn out damper pads on the bottom of the washing machine may also be the cause. Either way, an uneven surface can put disproportionate stress to certain areas as the drum inside spins. Over time this can cause serious damage and may force you to have to buy a new washing machine.
  • Washing Machine is Leaking – If your washing machine is leaking this could be due to worn out hoses , bad connections of hoses, leaking pumps or tubs, clogs, or even too much soap. Don’t forget your washing machine runs on electricity, so mixing this with water can cause serious damage to your machine or yourself. Be sure to get a professional to perform your washing machine repairs.
  • Washing Machine Drains Slowly – If your washing machine is draining but extremely slowly, chances are there is a clog in the drainage hose. You need to get this cleared as it will eventually lead to leaking and a much bigger and more expensive problem.
  • Spin Cycle Not Working – You may not notice this one on your own, but if your clothes come out of your washing machine dripping wet, there’s a good chance that your washing machine’s drum isn’t spinning. This could be caused by a number of complicated issues, be sure to call a qualified technician to do your washing machine repair.
  • Washing machine Won’t Turn On – If your washing machine is dead and won’t turn on, there usually an easy fix. Most major brands of washing machines have a sensor to detect an imbalance in the drum. For example, if you loaded all the clothes onto one side of the drum this would cause an imbalance and could cause major damage while spinning at high speeds. To prevent this, a sensor in your washing machine activates a kill switch and prevents it from powering up. Try rebalancing the load in your washer. If your washing machine still doesn’t turn on then you most likely have a problem with the circuitry which is a problem best left for our appliance repair technicians.
  • There’s no water – If there is no water coming into your washing machine and everything is connected properly, it might be simple as you don’t have your water valve turned on. If you do, it could be caused by sediment build-up in the valve or a bad pump.

If you are currently experiencing any of the above or have a different problem, you need to seek professional appliance repair services. CAI offers professional and efficient repair services at affordable prices. Call us today for a free quote over the phone – 0415 343 413

Frequently asked questions

How much does washing machine repair cost in Perth?
You pay one up-front call-out fee that covers the first visit and the labour to diagnose and, where possible, fix the fault, plus the cost of any parts needed. If a part has to be ordered, the return visit to fit it is charged at a reduced labour rate. We tell you the price before any work starts.
Is my washing machine worth repairing or should I replace it?
Most faults are worth repairing. Common failures such as door interlocks, drain pumps, belts and motor brushes are inexpensive parts fitted in a single visit. The honest exception is drum bearings on machines where they are sealed into the outer drum. Our technician will give you a straight repair-versus-replace answer before going ahead.
Do you repair both front loader and top loader machines?
Yes, front loaders, top loaders and washer-dryer combos. We service all major brands and are the authorised service agent for several of them, so repairs are done with correct parts and proper procedures.
My washing machine will not spin. What is the usual cause?
The most common culprits are a blocked drain filter or pump, an unbalanced load, a failed door interlock or a worn drive belt. Some of these you can check yourself, and our guide to a washing machine that will not spin walks you through it. If it still refuses, book a technician and we will diagnose it on the spot.
