Washing Machines Tech doesn't let a breakdown disrupt your routine. Our certified technicians provide prompt, same-day domestic appliance diagnostics and repairs across Nairobi, backed by trusted workmanship on every visit. We fix faults right the first time using authentic spare parts.
At Washing Machines Tech, whatever washing machine, dishwasher or vacuum cleaner brand sits in your Nairobi home or business, our technicians are trained to diagnose it accurately and repair it correctly on the first visit.
From a flooded laundry room in Kilimani to a silent drum in Kayole, we fix every common washing machine fault with proper diagnostics and same-day repairs delivered anywhere in Nairobi.
Leaking door seals, split inlet hoses and cracked drain pipes are the most common causes of water pooling around a washing machine in Nairobi homes. We trace the leak to its source, replace the failed seal or hose, and pressure-test the machine before we leave.

A washing machine that finishes its cycle full of water usually has a blocked drain pump filter, a kinked hose, or a worn pump impeller. Our technicians clear the blockage or replace the pump on the same visit.

A silent, stationary drum points to a snapped belt, a worn carbon brush, or a seized motor bearing. We diagnose the exact mechanical fault and replace only the part that has actually failed.

Grinding, knocking or squealing during the wash or spin cycle is often a worn drum bearing, a coin lodged in the pump, or a damaged pulley. We isolate the source with a full diagnostic before quoting.

If your machine will not power on at all, the fault usually sits in the power supply, the door interlock switch, or the control board. We check each component in sequence and repair the fault found.

No water reaching the drum is commonly a blocked inlet valve filter, a kinked supply hose, or a faulty water level sensor. We clear or replace the affected part and confirm fill pressure before finishing.

A faulty heating element or a stuck thermostat can cause a machine to run dangerously hot. Because overheating carries a fire risk, we treat these callouts as priority same-day jobs.

An unbalanced load, worn suspension springs, or an uneven drum will make a machine walk across the floor during spin. We adjust the load balance and replace worn suspension components.

Modern washing machines flag sensor failures and electrical faults through on-screen error codes. Our technicians carry diagnostic tools to read these codes correctly the first time.

Stuffy or musty odours are almost always mould and detergent residue trapped in the drum gasket, dispenser drawer and drain pipe. Our deep-cleaning service strips this build-up out fully.

A clogged detergent dispenser, worn wash action, or restricted water circulation leaves clothes coming out dull or still dirty. A thorough service clears these blockages.

Hard shaking is frequently caused by transit bolts that were never removed after delivery, or by suspension and balance faults. Most of these repairs are resolved in a single on-site visit.

A detailed, honest breakdown of what washing machine repair actually costs in Nairobi, so you can budget before you call.
Finding a washing machine repair service you can actually trust matters more than most people realise, until they've had a bad experience with an unqualified “fundi” who charges for parts that were never faulty in the first place. A washing machine that stops mid-cycle, leaks onto the floor, or refuses to spin isn't just an inconvenience — it throws off an entire household's routine, and in Nairobi, where water and electrical connections vary widely between estates, the underlying cause is not always obvious without a proper diagnostic.
Washing Machines Tech works on all major brands sold in Nairobi, including Samsung, LG, Bosch, Hisense, Ramtons, Von Hotpoint, Mika, Nunix and Whirlpool, covering both front-loading and top-loading models. Whether the issue is a blown motor, a leaking drum seal, a faulty control board, or something as simple as a blocked drain filter, our technicians carry the diagnostic tools and common spare parts needed to fix most machines on the first visit.
“A repair done right the first time is always cheaper than three quick fixes that don't hold. We'd rather spend an extra ten minutes diagnosing the actual fault than swap parts by guesswork.”
— Washing Machines Tech, Service Advisory
Repair costs vary depending on the fault, the brand, and whether parts need to be sourced or are already in stock. A blocked filter or a simple reset costs very little since it mostly needs a technician's time. A burnt motor or a main control board replacement costs considerably more, particularly for European brands like Bosch and Siemens, where boards are not always locally stocked and may need to be imported.

We always confirm final pricing with you before any work begins — use the calculator further down this page for a quick indicative estimate.
A large share of the calls that come into our service could have been avoided with basic maintenance. Overloading the drum strains the motor and bearings over time. Using regular detergent in a front-loader designed for low-suds formulas leads to excess foam that damages seals and clogs drainage systems.
A technician arrives with a standard diagnostic kit and a stock of the most commonly needed parts — belts, filters, door latches and inlet valves. The fault is confirmed first, then you're given a clear price before any part is replaced.
