How Refitec Diagnoses Your Washing Machine
We don’t guess — we diagnose properly before touching a single component.
Step 1 — Visual Inspection We check for obvious physical damage, leaks, or burnt smells.
Step 2 — Error Code Reading Modern machines store fault codes. We read them using diagnostic tools.
Step 3 — Component Testing We test the motor, heating element, pump, capacitor, and control board individually.
Step 4 — Water & Drainage Test We run a short cycle to observe how the machine behaves under real conditions.
Step 5 — Report & Quote We explain what’s wrong in plain language and give you a clear repair cost — no hidden charges.
Diagnosis fee: Ksh 1,000 — deducted from your repair bill if you proceed.

Tips to Prevent Washing Machine Problems
A little care goes a long way. Here’s what actually works:
1. Don’t Overload It Stuffing too many clothes stresses the drum and bearings. Follow the weight limit on your machine.
2. Clean the Filter Monthly The pump filter collects lint, coins, and debris. A blocked filter causes drainage failure.
3. Use the Right Detergent High-efficiency (HE) machines need low-suds detergent. Too much foam damages the drum seals.
4. Leave the Door Open After Use Especially on front loaders — it prevents mold and bad smells from building inside the drum.
5. Check Pockets Before Washing Coins and keys are the number one cause of pump and drum damage.
6. Run a Drum Cleaning Cycle Do this once a month. Most modern machines have a dedicated drum clean setting.
7. Don’t Ignore Error Codes An error code is your machine asking for help. Call us before a small issue becomes an expensive one.
