Washing machine repair in Bristol: Renters vs homeowners

For homeowners:

If you own your home, you’re responsible for organising and paying for your washing machine repairs. Keep receipts and any warranty paperwork, as some home insurance policies may cover appliance repairs in certain situations.

For renters:

If your washing machine was supplied by your landlord and is listed in your tenancy agreement, it’s usually their responsibility to repair or replace it (unless you caused the damage). Report issues to your landlord or letting agent as soon as possible. If you own the appliance yourself, you’ll need to arrange and pay for repairs.
