It is often worth getting a washing machine fixed if the appliance is fairly new and only minor repair work is needed.

It is typically more cost-effective to repair a washing machine if only a replacement door seal, pump or motor brushes are needed. That being said, it can be expensive to get an older washing machine back to its full working order.

Replacing a washing machine is often the best choice if the quote for repairs is almost as high as the cost of a brand new appliance. New washing machines are more energy efficient than older models and modern appliances are available at budget-friendly prices.

Some washing machine faults are easy to fix and professional help won’t be needed. For example, removing a blockage from the drain filter and cleaning away a build-up of grime in the door seal are two straightforward DIY repairs.

If DIY repairs haven’t worked, a professional technician can find the source of the fault and fix the problem. An experienced engineer will have the knowledge and tools needed to get your washing machine up and running again.

Like all household appliances, washing machines can malfunction from time to time. Common washing machine faults include:

• Spinning failure - A faulty motor, drive belt, balance sensor or drainage issues can all prevent the drum from spinning at the end of the wash cycle

• Drainage issues - If the water is not draining from your washing machine there may be something blocking the drain pipe or drain hose

• Excessive shaking - Some shaking is normal during your machine’s wash cycle but excessive movement can be the sign of a problem. Professional washing machine repairs may be needed if your appliance is shaking more than usual and making a loud noise

• Dirty components - Limescale and dirt can build-up inside your washing machine and leave your clothes smelling bad after they have been washed
