On-Site & Shop Repair Services
We offer two convenient options:
On-Site Repair (We Come to You)
We visit your home or apartment in Karura, diagnose the machine, and fix it on the spot where possible. No need to disconnect or transport anything. This works for most repairs — drum, pump, seal, heating element, and more.
Workshop Repair (Drop-Off or Collection)
For complex jobs that need a full teardown — like bearing replacements or control board repairs — we can collect the machine, fix it at our workshop, and return it fully tested. We also accept walk-in drop-offs.
Most customers in Karura prefer on-site service for convenience. We’ll advise which option suits your repair best.
Tips to Prevent Washing Machine Problems
A little care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep your machine running longer:
- Don’t overload — Stuffing too many clothes strains the motor and drum bearings.
- Use the right detergent — Too much soap causes excess foam and pump blockages.
- Clean the filter monthly — A clogged pump filter is one of the most common faults we see.
- Check pockets — Coins, pins, and small objects damage the drum and pump.
- Level the machine — An uneven machine vibrates more and wears out faster.
- Leave the door open after use — Helps prevent mould on the door seal.
- Run a drum clean cycle — Once a month, use a washing machine cleaner or hot empty cycle.
- Don’t ignore error codes — A small fault caught early is cheaper to fix than one left to get worse.
