Washing Machine Repair

We repair front-load, top-load fully automatic and semi-automatic washing machines of IFB, LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Bosch, Haier, Godrej, Panasonic and other brands. The technician diagnoses the fault at your home, gives you the cause and a written price, and fixes most problems in the same visit.

Problems we fix

• Not draining or water left in the drum: a blocked drain filter or pump, or a choked outlet hose.
• Drum not spinning or turning: a worn belt, carbon brushes, a motor fault, or a door lock or lid switch that doesn't register.
• Loud noise or heavy shaking during spin: worn drum bearings, broken shock absorbers or suspension springs, or a machine that isn't level.
• Water leaking on the floor: a torn door seal on a front loader, a loose hose, or a leaking pump.
• Not filling with water: a faulty inlet valve, a choked inlet filter, or low tap pressure.
• Door won't open after the wash: a door lock fault or water still in the drum.
• Error codes or the machine won't start: sensor, wiring or control board (PCB) faults, read from the error code first.

How the visit works

1. The technician runs the machine and checks the drain, inlet, motor, drum and door lock, and reads any error code.
2. You get the fault and a written price before any part is replaced.
3. Common parts such as drain pumps, inlet valves, belts and door locks are usually carried, so most repairs finish in the same visit. Drum bearing jobs on front loaders may take a few hours.
4. A wash and spin cycle is run before we leave. The work carries a 30-day service warranty.

Chennai water and your washing machine

Hard borewell water leaves scale on the heater and the drum, and detergent residue builds up in the door seal and drain filter. That causes smells, slow draining and heater faults. On upper floors with low tank pressure, a machine can stop mid-cycle with a water inlet error even though nothing is broken. Our technician checks these before suggesting any part.

Repair or replace?

Pumps, valves, belts, door locks and seals are inexpensive repairs. A failed control board or drum bearings on an older machine cost more, and our technician will tell you plainly when a repair isn't worth it.

Keeping it running

• Clean the drain filter every month or two, and leave the door open after washing to dry the seal.
• Use the amount of detergent the machine needs, and front-load detergent in front loaders.
• Run a hot drum-clean cycle with descaler every few months if you use hard water.
