The temperature sensor, or thermistor, tells the machine's control board exactly how hot the wash water is, allowing it to manage the heating element accurately. A faulty sensor can cause water to overheat, underheat, or fluctuate unpredictably, even when the heating element itself is working perfectly. Signs You Need Temperature Sensor Repair Water temperature doesn't match the selected cycle setting Wash water feels too hot or too cold consistently Error code referencing a temperature fault Heating element runs continuously without cutting off Cycle temperature fluctuates during a single wash Machine fails to reach the required hygiene-wash temperature What's Involved We …

Commercial Laundry Equipment Maintenance
Commercial laundry machines run far more cycles than domestic units, and that volume of use means routine wear accumulates faster — lint builds up, seals dry out, hoses degrade, and mineral deposits collect in ways that eventually turn into full breakdowns if left unattended. Regular maintenance catches this wear before it becomes an emergency repair, and it's almost always cheaper than reactive fixes. Washing Machines Tech provides ongoing maintenance services for commercial laundry equipment, keeping machines running reliably between full repairs. What Our Maintenance Covers Our maintenance visits typically include: Lint trap and vent clearing Hose and seal inspection Drum …
Commercial Washer Heating Element Repair
Hot wash cycles depend on a working heating element, and on commercial washers running frequent hot cycles for hygiene-sensitive laundry — hospitals, hotels, gyms — a failed element means water that never reaches the required temperature, no matter how the cycle is set. Signs You Need Heating Element Repair Water stays cold or lukewarm on hot wash settings Wash cycle takes longer than usual trying to reach temperature Error code referencing a heating fault Element visibly discoloured, blistered or corroded Burning smell during a hot cycle Circuit breaker tripping specifically during hot washes What's Involved We test the heating element …
Washer-Extractor Repair Service, Nairobi
Washer-extractors combine washing and high-speed extraction in a single unit, spinning at speeds far beyond a standard washer to pull as much water out of a load as possible before drying. That extra mechanical stress — particularly on bearings, shock absorbers and the drum suspension system — makes washer-extractors prone to specific faults that don't show up on standard washing machines. Washing Machines Tech repairs washer-extractors used in hotels, hospitals, industrial laundries and uniform services, where fast, thorough extraction is central to the operation. What We Repair Our washer-extractor repair service covers: High-speed bearing and seal assemblies Shock absorber and …
Commercial Top-Load Washer Repair
Top-load commercial washers remain a common choice for their straightforward mechanics, faster cycle times, and ease of loading — but their agitator or impeller system, transmission, and lid switch mechanisms create their own set of common faults. Washing Machines Tech repairs commercial top-load washers across laundromats, guesthouses and commercial facilities, working with the mechanical systems specific to this washer type. What We Repair Our top-load washer repair service covers: Agitator and impeller mechanisms Transmission and drive coupling faults Lid switch and safety interlocks Water level sensors and inlet valves Belt and motor assemblies Tub bearing and seal wear Common Faults …
Industrial Tumble Dryer Repair
Industrial tumble dryers handle far larger loads and far longer run times than any commercial or domestic dryer, which puts sustained stress on heating systems, drum mechanics and airflow components. In facilities like industrial laundries, hospital linen services and large hotel operations, a dryer running below capacity or breaking down entirely can back up an entire production line. Washing Machines Tech repairs industrial tumble dryers, working with the higher-capacity heating systems and drive mechanisms these units depend on. What We Repair Our industrial dryer repair service covers: Gas burners and industrial heating elements Large-capacity drum bearings and rollers Industrial-grade drive …
Commercial Stack Washer and Dryer Repair
Stacked washer-dryer units are a common choice where floor space is limited — small hotels, serviced apartments, laundromats fitting more machines into a tight footprint. The stacked design saves space, but it also means the washer and dryer share structural mounting, electrical connections and sometimes control systems, which introduces repair considerations that separate units don't have. Washing Machines Tech repairs commercial stack washer-dryer units, handling both the individual machine faults and the shared-system issues specific to stacked installations. What We Repair Our stack unit repair service covers: Individual washer and dryer mechanical faults Shared electrical and control wiring Mounting bracket …
Commercial Laundry Machine Installation
Getting a new commercial washer or dryer installed correctly matters just as much as keeping it repaired — a poorly installed machine can develop premature faults, vibrate excessively, or fail to meet its rated performance from day one. Proper installation covers plumbing connections, electrical requirements, ventilation, leveling and load-bearing considerations that vary by machine type and building setup. Washing Machines Tech installs commercial laundry equipment across hotels, laundromats and serviced properties, making sure new machines start their working life set up correctly. What We Cover Our installation service includes: Water supply and drainage connections Electrical hookup and circuit verification Gas …
Commercial Front-Load Washer Repair
Front-load commercial washers are prized for their water efficiency and gentler handling of linens, but their design brings specific wear points that top-load machines don't share — particularly around the door seal, drum suspension and bearing assembly. In high-use commercial settings, these components see far more stress than in a home laundry room. Washing Machines Tech repairs commercial front-load washers across hotels, laundromats and commercial facilities, focusing on the specific mechanics these machines depend on. What We Repair Our front-load washer repair service covers: Door seal and gasket replacement Drum bearing and shaft seal failures Suspension spring and shock absorber …
Commercial Washer Drum Repair
A commercial washer's drum takes more punishment than almost any other part of the machine. Every load, every spin cycle, every overloaded batch of linen puts strain on the drum and the components holding it in place, and over months of daily commercial use that strain adds up. When a drum starts wobbling, scraping against the outer tub, or spinning unevenly, it's rarely something that fixes itself — and running the machine in that state usually accelerates damage to the bearings and motor mount around it. Signs You Need Drum Repair Loud scraping or grinding noise during the spin cycle …
Commercial Laundry Machine Diagnostics
Accurate diagnostics are the foundation of every good repair — replacing parts based on a guess wastes money and often doesn't fix the actual problem, while a proper diagnostic process identifies the root cause before any component gets swapped. Commercial laundry machines have enough interconnected systems that symptoms don't always point directly to their cause, which is exactly where careful diagnostic work earns its value. Washing Machines Tech treats diagnostics as a distinct, careful first step in every commercial laundry repair. Our Diagnostic Process A thorough diagnostic visit typically involves: Symptom review and operating history discussion Visual and mechanical inspection …
Emergency Commercial Laundry Equipment Repair
Some laundry equipment faults simply can't wait for a scheduled appointment — a hospital laundry with no working dryers, a hotel facing a full house with a broken washer bank, a laundromat losing customers by the hour. Emergency repair situations call for fast response and technicians who can diagnose and fix under pressure without cutting corners on quality. Washing Machines Tech provides emergency call-out repair for commercial laundry equipment, prioritising businesses facing urgent operational disruption. When to Call for Emergency Repair Situations that typically warrant an emergency call-out include: Complete equipment failure during peak operating hours Water leaks risking property …
