Common Washing Machine Problems
Almost every home in the UK has one and, inevitably, they will all malfunction at some stage, the only question is on how long they will run before breaking down and how much it will cost to repair. This is covered, in part, by the manufacturers section which offers lots of information on many of the domestic appliance brands sold in the UK.
Please bear in mind that this washing machine and washer dryer guide is very generic and offers only rough guidance and not expert opinion on any one appliance or brand, so some common sense will be required.
What you will see here is some general comments followed by a list of common components to check, if required seek further help within the forums.
Washing machine won't start, no power
There's lots of things that can cause this to happen but as with any fault diagnosis, start at the beginning and work through the problem methodically. So begin at the plug, make sure that there is power to the socket and that the fuse is okay before looking any further.
- Mains filter
- Door lock
- Mains cable & terminal block
- Main power switch
- Control PCB
Washing machine won't drain or is noisy on drain
Generally this will be some sort of drain pump failure or blockage.
- Drain pump blocked
- Drain pump faulty
- Waste outlet hose blocked
- Sump hose blocked
- Object in pump
- Poor flooring or installation
Washing machine noisy
See the above, drain pump faulty, as this can cause horrendous noise from the washer, especially something trapped in the pump.
Objects trapped in between the outer tub and drum can also be a cause of noise, things like bra wires are extremely common to be retrieved and they can cause damage to the machine and any clothing in it. If you can, remove the wires before washing.
The use of a wash bag for small items can greatly reduce the chances of items getting between the drum and tub, you can buy these from our store
If the machine is a few years old then it is very possible that the bearings are either faulty, collapsed or just starting to go. With bearings the sooner that they are replaced the better as there is liable to be less damage and, if you know that they are faulty, not using or minimising the use will help to avoid further damage.
Stability can also cause excessive noise, especially where the machine is on a wooden or floating floor. Obviously a fault with the suspension system can also produce the same result.
- Noisy pump
- Object in the drain pump
- Object trapped in the tub
- Bearings faulty
- Washing machine not levelled correctly
- Faulty dampers or suspension
- Poor flooring or installation
