Washing Machine Breakdown Repairs Bounds Green
When dealing with Washing machine repairs Bounds Green, here are a few tips to help with fixing your washing machine according to each issue.
– If it leaks…
It may be overfilling. You should immediately find the source of the leak. The first thing you have to check when it’s leaking is the hoses. Make sure that the threaded fittings and the connections between the hoses are tightened enough securely. If there’s no problem with the hose, try checking the machine’s feet. Adjust each foot until they are at the same level because the machine can leak if they are not balanced.
– If it shakes…
It may be caused by impaired straps (there are four) which can make the washing machine shake and make a loud banging sound. You need to raise the top of the washer to access the straps and check whether they are causing the noise or not. If you find out that any of those straps are already damaged, replacing all four straps at the same time is highly suggested. The shaking can also be caused by the washing machine’s shock absorbers which are damaged. To access them, you have to shut off the power before doing this repair.
– If the washing machine does not spin…
It might be overloaded. You should remove some items before turning the washer on to work. Or ensure that the Safety Lock is off. Check the door strike to ensure that it engages the door lock assembly properly. Or, if your washer’s door lock fault code has been confirmed, the door lock may need to be replaced.
– If it does not agitate…
This occurs because the agitator does not work and normally it should be replaced by a new one. But don’t be discouraged. Sometimes it’s caused by the motor. Almost all washing machines have a motor which rotates to drive the transmission. When the motor on your machine does not rotate correctly, you should check first whether the power has been supplied to the right terminals. If there is no problem but your machine still will not agitate, then replace it with a new motor.
