What we usually find
These are the usual causes when a machine will not start.
Door lock or lid switch
The machine will not start until it knows the door is locked. A failed lock is one of the most common faults we see. We replace it.
Control board or display
Power surges, damp and age can damage the board. We test it before replacing anything.
No water getting in
Some machines will not continue if water does not fill. See not filling with water.
Power cord or plug
A damaged cord or scorched plug. We check and repair the machine side.
What happens when we come out
You call or text
Tell us the brand, front or top loader, and what the machine is doing. We book a time that suits you.
We find the fault
The technician tests the machine in your laundry and tells you what is wrong in plain words.
You approve the price
You get the full price before we start. If it is not worth fixing, we tell you.
We fix it
Most repairs are done on the spot with parts from the van. Our work has a 12 month warranty.
Before you call
- Plug something else into the same powerpoint to check it has power.
- Check the child lock is not on. Most machines show a small lock symbol.
Anything past these checks is a job for us. Please do not open the back or top of the machine, and never work on it while it is plugged in. Water and power do not mix, and a heavy drum can shift without warning.
Questions about this repair
Did a storm cause this?
It can. Power surges are a common cause of control board faults.
Is it safe to keep trying?
If the safety switch trips, stop and leave the machine unplugged. Call us.
Can you come today?
Often, yes. Tell us the brand and model so we can bring the right part.
