We all rely on our washing machines. Be it a top loader or a front loading washer, whether we realise it or not, the white good residing in our laundries or back sheds saves the majority of households hundreds of hours in physical labour, giving our arm muscles a break from pokey old scrubbing boards. It’s bad enough you have to hand wash delicate fabrics, right?
When time is tight, you want to minimise hassle and housework, so the suffering of a washing machine should be nipped in the bud as soon as it starts struggling – but how can you tell it’s feeling under the weather? While it can’t talk to you (and if it could, you’d probably feel judged for you choice of washing powder), here are 3 signs washing machine repairs are needed – and fast!
Water, Water…Where?
Water is a very important component of the wash cycle – without it, it would be pointless. If your washing drum isn’t filling up, there could be a huge problem lurking within your favourite appliance. Before you call us out, perform a quick sanity check – is the hose straight, allowing the water through, or do you see a kink blocking progress? Did you delay your water selection, hmm’ing between hot, cold or both? Is the water turned on at the taps? If you’ve cleared these angles, and there’s still a problem, contact Albion Appliances.
Water, Water Everywhere!
The opposite problem. Sometimes, water stays in the drum after your clothes have been put through the washing ordeal and came out cleaner, brighter and sweeter to smell. It would be ideal if they weren’t sopping wet! Don’t panic. Check for any clothing tangles obstructing the pipe – these can and do happen. And once again, is the drain hose straight, or has it a kink? If its correctly positioned and you still have a leak, call us.. Albion Appliance Service
You Have No Idea…
The drum is turning, there’s water and it seems to be draining okay. It’s very noisy, but you’re not sure why. You’ve poked around and checked for blockages, twisted clothes and user-faults (you forgot to turn the hoses on); you’ve even tried the old school turn it off and on again trick. It didn’t work. The innards of a washing machine are much more complicated than we think, as an intricate piece of technology makes sure everything works on command, every time. Like any computer, sometimes it struggles to keep up with your needs and glitches – sometimes for a minute…That minute is all you need. Something is wrong and you need to get your washing machine checked and repaired now, when it’s less costly. A complete breakdown can have serious consequences…
And remember, if your
