Common Washing Machine Problems We Fix

Washing machine not draining

A washing machine that will not drain usually has a blocked pump filter, a kinked or clogged drain hose, or a failed drain pump.

Common causes:

  • Lint, coins or debris in the pump filter
  • Blocked or kinked drain hose
  • Faulty drain pump
  • Control board or pressure switch fault

Washing machine not spinning

When the drum will not spin, the load is often unbalanced, but a worn belt, faulty motor, failed door lock or control board problem can also be the cause.

Common causes:

  • Unbalanced or overloaded drum
  • Worn drive belt (belt-driven models)
  • Motor or motor brushes worn out
  • Door lock or control board fault

Washing machine leaking water

Leaks normally come from a worn door seal, loose or cracked hoses, an overflowing detergent drawer or a damaged pump seal.

Common causes:

  • Perished door seal (gasket)
  • Loose or split inlet and drain hoses
  • Too much detergent causing overflow
  • Cracked pump housing or tub seal

Washing machine will not turn on or start

A machine that is dead or will not start a cycle often has a power supply, door lock, or control board problem, sometimes caused by voltage surges.

Common causes:

  • Faulty socket, plug or power cable
  • Door switch or lock not engaging
  • Burnt control board after a power surge
  • Failed on/off switch or timer

Loud banging, grinding or vibrating

Banging is usually an unbalanced load or unlevel machine; grinding or a rumbling noise points to worn drum bearings or failing shock absorbers.

Common causes:

  • Unlevel feet or unbalanced load
  • Worn drum bearings
  • Broken shock absorbers or suspension springs
  • Foreign object between drum and tub

Door will not open or lock

If the door stays locked after a cycle, water may still be in the drum, or the door lock mechanism or control board may have failed.

Common causes:

  • Water left in the drum (drain fault)
  • Faulty door lock assembly
  • Broken door handle or latch
  • Control board fault

Washing machine not filling with water

A machine that will not fill usually has a closed tap, a blocked inlet filter, low water pressure or a faulty water inlet valve.

Common causes:

  • Tap closed or low water pressure
  • Blocked inlet filter screens
  • Failed water inlet valve
  • Pressure switch fault

Washing Machine Repair FAQs

How much does washing machine repair cost in Ghana?

The cost depends on the fault, the brand and whether a spare part is needed. A blocked drain filter or worn hose costs far less than a new control board or drum bearing. Nicky Ventures diagnoses the machine first and gives you a quote before any repair work begins. Call 0244795033 to describe the fault and get guidance.

Why is my washing machine not draining?

The most common causes are a blocked drain pump filter, a kinked or clogged drain hose, or a failed drain pump. Switch off and unplug the machine, check the filter and hose for lint, coins and debris, and look for kinks. If the water still will not drain, the pump or control board may need repair, so call a technician.

Why is my washing machine not spinning?

An unbalanced or overloaded drum, a worn drive belt, a faulty motor or door lock, or a failed control board can stop the spin cycle. Redistribute the load and try a spin-only cycle first. If the drum still will not spin, have a technician inspect it.

Why is my washing machine leaking water?

Leaks usually come from a worn door seal, loose or cracked inlet and drain hoses, too much detergent or a faulty pump seal. Turn off the water supply and unplug the machine, then call for a repair, because leaking water near electrics is a safety risk.

Should I repair or replace my washing machine?

As a rule of thumb, repair the machine if the fix costs less than about half the price of a comparable new one and the machine is under roughly 8 to 10 years old. We will diagnose the fault and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Do you offer same-day washing machine repair?

Same-day service is available for urgent faults such as water leaks or electrical problems, subject to technician availability and your location. Call 0244795033 as early in the day as you can.

Do repairs come with a warranty?

Yes. We use quality replacement parts and stand behind our work. Ask the technician for the exact warranty terms covering your repair when you receive your quote.

How can I protect my washing machine from power surges?

Plug it into a surge-protected socket or a voltage stabiliser, and unplug it during storms or when the power is unstable. Voltage fluctuations are a common cause of burnt control boards, which are one of the more expensive washing machine repairs.
