Troubleshooting

Why won't my washing machine drain?

Blocked drain filter or hose

The most common cause of slow or no draining.

Failed drain pump

The pump itself may have stopped working.

Kinked or blocked outlet hose

Water has nowhere to go if the hose is restricted.

Why won't my washing machine spin?

Worn or broken drive belt

The drum can't be driven at spin speed.

Motor or control-board fault

Spin function isn't being triggered correctly.

Unbalanced or overloaded drum

Safety systems may prevent spin until resolved.

Why is my washing machine leaking?

Worn door seal

A perished door gasket lets water escape.

Damaged hose or connection

Inlet or outlet hoses may be loose or split.

Detergent drawer or seal issue

Leaks can come from the dispenser area too.

These are common causes, not a diagnosis — a technician needs to inspect the machine to confirm what's actually wrong. Call 078 394 2727 to arrange a visit.
