Complete list of common washing machine problems (one-by-one) — diagnosis & GossTech repair process
Below is an exhaustive, easy-to-scan table listing problems, how GossTech diagnoses each, and the typical repair steps we take.
| # | Problem | How GossTech diagnoses it | Typical repair / fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Washing machine won’t start / no power | Check power outlet, plug, user controls, door/lid lock switch, and control board for visible faults. Use multimeter to test power at inlet. | Replace blown fuses, repair/replace door lock, repair control board or replace damaged wiring. If motor capacitor failed, replace capacitor. |
| 2 | Washer doesn’t fill with water | Inspect inlet hoses, filters, water pressure, inlet valve coil, and program settings. Test pressure and valve with multimeter. | Clean/replace inlet filters, replace faulty inlet valve, fix water supply/hose kink, or repair pressure switch. |
| 3 | Washing machine leaks water | Visual inspection for obvious cracks/loose hoses; run test cycle to locate leak. Check door seal, detergent drawer, inlet/outlet hoses, pump and tub. | Replace door seal (front loaders), tighten or replace hoses, replace defective pump or tub, reseal or re-bond cracked plastic. |
| 4 | Washer won’t drain | Listen for pump noise; check filter, drain hose for blockages; test pump motor and belt (if belt-driven). | Clean pump filter, remove blockage, replace pump motor or belt, clear drainpipe. |
| 5 | Excessive vibration or shaking | Inspect for level and mounting, shock absorbers (front loaders), suspension springs, drum bearings, and load balance sensors. | Re-level machine, replace shock absorbers/springs, repair/replace bearings, balance load-sensing electronics. |
| 6 | Drum not spinning or spins slowly | Test drive motor, belt (if applicable), motor capacitor, lid switch and control board signals. | Replace drive belt, repair/replace motor or capacitor, fix lid switch, or reprogram control board. |
| 7 | Unusual noises (clanking, grinding) | Run a diagnostic quiet-cycle; inspect drum for foreign objects, check bearings, motor coupling, and transmission. | Remove foreign objects, replace bearings or motor coupling, repair or replace transmission assembly. |
| 8 | Detergent not dispensing / poor cleaning | Check detergent drawer condition, inlet flow, drum movement, water temperature settings, and dosing. | Clean dispenser, replace broken drawer, service inlet valves, advise proper detergent and load sizes; repair heating element if necessary. |
| 9 | Foul odour / mildew build-up | Inspect drum for residue, check for standing water in pump/filter, gasket, and drum pores. | Deep clean, replace door seal if moldy/porous, recommend descaling & sanitation cycle, provide maintenance plan. |
| 10 | Electronic errors / fault codes | Read fault codes via display or diagnostic port; interpret codes against brand-specific manuals; test sensors (temp, pressure, door lock). | Reset/clear faults, replace faulty sensors, repair wiring harness, reflash or replace control board if corrupted. |
| 11 | Overheating or heating element failure (for machines with heater) | Test heating element resistance, thermostat, temperature sensor. | Replace heating element or thermostat/sensor; check wiring and safety cut-outs. |
| 12 | Washer trips house circuit breaker | Check motor/start capacitor, earth leakage, water ingress, short circuits in wiring or failing heating element. | Repair insulation faults, replace faulty components, ensure earth connection, repair wiring. |
| 13 | Washer won’t spin on full load | Test load-sensing system, imbalance detection, and mechanical components. | Balance detection recalibration, replace sensors or mechanical parts (springs, shock absorbers). |
| 14 | Control panel / buttons unresponsive | Inspect membrane switches, control board, wiring, and moisture ingress. | Replace/control panel membrane, repair wiring, replace control board if required. |
| 15 | Door won’t open after cycle (locked) | Check door lock mechanism, latch sensor, power to lock, or stuck due to water inside. | Drain machine, manually unlock, replace door lock assembly, repair control board if lock signal fails. |

Preventative Maintenance: Keep your washing machine healthy
Regular maintenance prevents many common faults. GossTech recommends:
- Service interval: At least once every 12 months for domestic units; every 6 months for commercial/laundromat machines.
- After-each-use tips: Leave door slightly open after cycles (front-loaders) to reduce mold; remove lint and check filter.
- Monthly checks: Inspect hoses for bulges or cracks; clear pump filters; run a cleaning cycle with a descaler.
- Use correct detergent: Use HE detergent in modern front-loaders and the correct dosage.
- Load correctly: Avoid overloading — spin imbalance causes premature suspension and bearing wear.
We can create a tailored maintenance schedule for multi-machine sites.

| Service type | Typical price range (KES) | Warranty |
