Common faults we fix — all brands

12 most common washing machine problems in Nairobi. Fixed on-site with genuine parts.

FAULT 01
Placeholder image: water leaking from underneath a washing machine onto a tiled floor
Machine Leaking Water

A leaking washer is often caused by a worn door seal, a cracked inlet hose, a loose drain pipe, or a failing tub bearing. Ignoring it risks damage to floors and cabinetry, so our technicians trace the exact source, replace the faulty part, and test the seal before leaving.

FAULT 02

Washer Not Draining

If your washing machine won't drain, the cause is usually a blocked pump filter, a kinked or crushed drain hose, or a failed drain pump motor. We check the filter first, clear any blockages, test the pump, and confirm full drainage before completing the repair visit.

FAULT 03

Drum Not Spinning

A drum that won't spin usually points to a snapped drive belt, a worn motor carbon brush, a tripped door interlock, or worn drum bearings. Our technicians open the machine, test each component in turn, and replace only the failed parts to get your washer spinning again quickly.

FAULT 04
Placeholder image: close-up of a washing machine drum and bearing area causing loud noise
Loud Noise

Loud banging, grinding, or rattling during a wash cycle is commonly caused by foreign objects trapped in the drum, worn drum bearings, or a loose motor pulley. We inspect the drum and suspension system, remove any obstructions, and replace worn parts to restore quiet, smooth operation.

FAULT 05
Placeholder image: washing machine control panel that will not power on
Won't Start

A washing machine that refuses to start may have a tripped circuit, a faulty door latch sensor, a blown thermal fuse, or a failed control board. Our technicians run a full electrical diagnostic, identify the exact fault, and restore power safely so your machine starts reliably again.

FAULT 06
Placeholder image: washing machine water inlet valve and hose that is not filling with water
Not Filling Water

When a washer won't fill with water, the usual culprits are a blocked inlet valve, a kinked supply hose, a faulty water level sensor, or low mains pressure. We test the valve and sensor, clear any blockages, and confirm steady water flow before finishing the job.

FAULT 07
Placeholder image: washing machine heating element removed for inspection due to overheating
Overheating

An overheating washing machine is often caused by a faulty heating element, a failed thermostat, or a build-up of limescale on internal components. Continued use can damage fabrics and wiring, so our technicians test the heating circuit, replace defective parts, and check for scale build-up.

Fix from KSh 3,500 →
FAULT 08
Placeholder image: washing machine vibrating and shaking during a spin cycle
Vibrating Hard

Excessive vibration usually comes from an unbalanced load, worn suspension springs or shock absorbers, transit bolts left in place, or an uneven floor surface. We inspect the suspension system, remove transit bolts if needed, and level the machine to stop damaging shakes during spin cycles.

FAULT 09
Placeholder image: washing machine display panel showing an error code
Error Codes

Error codes on the display panel point to a specific fault detected by the control board, ranging from door sensor issues to drainage or heating faults. Our technicians read the exact code, diagnose the underlying component failure, and repair or replace the part causing the alert.

Fix from KSh 2,500 →
FAULT 10
Placeholder image: mould and residue build-up inside a washing machine door seal causing bad smells
Bad Smells

Musty or mouldy smells usually build up from detergent residue, fabric softener, and moisture trapped in the door seal, drum, and detergent drawer. We deep clean the seal, drum, and drawer, check the drain filter, and advise on maintenance habits that keep odours from returning.

Fix from KSh 2,500 →
FAULT 11
Placeholder image: clothes coming out of a washing machine still dirty due to a cleaning fault
Not Cleaning Well

Clothes coming out still dirty is often caused by a clogged detergent dispenser, a blocked drain filter, low water pressure, or worn drum paddles reducing the tumbling action. Our technicians clear blockages, inspect the drum and dispenser, and restore full wash performance so clothes come out properly clean.

Fix from KSh 2,000 →
FAULT 12
Placeholder image: washing machine that has shifted position and moved away from the wall
Shakes & Moves

A machine that shakes and shifts position during use often still has its transit bolts fitted, or has failed suspension springs and worn feet. We remove any transit bolts, check and replace worn suspension parts, and level the unit so it stays firmly in place during every cycle.

We fix all types of laundry machines

From compact front loaders in Nairobi apartments to heavy-duty commercial machines in hotels and laundromats, every laundry appliance has its own common failure points. Our technicians are trained across washer, dryer, and combo unit architectures, carrying the right parts and diagnostic tools to repair any type quickly.

Front load washing machine in a laundry room Front Load Washers

A front load washer is a washing machine with a horizontal drum accessed through a door on the front panel. We repair door seal leaks, bearing noise, drainage faults, and drum bearing wear for all major front-loading brands, keeping your machine efficient and leak-free.

Top load washing machine Top Load Washers

A top load washer is a washing machine loaded from an opening in the top, typically using a central agitator or impeller. Our technicians specialise in agitator, lid switch, and spin cycle repairs for Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, and other popular top-loading brands used across Nairobi homes.

Washer-dryer combo unit Washer-Dryer Combos

A washer-dryer combo is a single unit that washes and dries clothes in one drum without needing a separate dryer. We repair the integrated heating element, condenser, and moisture sensor systems these combos rely on, restoring both wash and dry performance in a single visit.

Commercial laundry machines in a row Commercial Washing Machines

A commercial washing machine is a heavy-duty, high-capacity unit built for hotels, laundromats, and businesses handling large volumes of laundry daily. Because downtime costs money, we offer priority response for commercial breakdowns, with technicians experienced in industrial motors, heavy bearings, and continuous-use control systems.

Semi-automatic twin-tub washing machine Semi-Automatic Washing Machines

A semi-automatic washing machine is a twin-tub unit with separate wash and spin compartments that requires manual water filling and draining. We repair the wash motor, spin motor, timer dial, and drain pump on twin-tub machines, a popular budget-friendly option in many Nairobi households.

Tumble dryer Tumble Dryers

A tumble dryer is an appliance that removes moisture from washed clothes by tumbling them in heated air inside a rotating drum. Our technicians handle vented, condenser, and heat pump dryer types, fixing no-heat faults, drum belt failures, noisy bearings, and door switch problems.
