How GossTech diagnoses — our step-by-step process
- Initial triage (call / WhatsApp): We gather symptoms, model, serial number and recent behaviour. This helps prep the right parts and tools.
- On-site or drop-off diagnostic: Our technician performs electrical checks (safety earth, continuity), mechanical inspections (belts, motor, bearings), water systems checks (valves, pumps), and runs diagnostic cycles.
- Clear quote & approval: We explain findings, show faulty parts (photos if on-site), and provide a written estimate before any work. No surprise charges.
- Repair or replacement: Trained technicians carry out repairs using OEM or high-quality compatible parts. For major failures (e.g., gearbox), we explain cost vs replace options.
- Test & warranty: Full cycle test, leak test and vibration test. Repairs carry a workmanship warranty and part warranty (terms apply). We email the job report for your records. (GossTech™ • 0723613664)

Typical repair timelines & cost factors
- Simple fixes (belt, hose, pump clear) — often same day, lower cost.
- Electronic/PCB faults — diagnosis may require workshop time; repair or replacement depending on fault.
- Major mechanical repairs (gearbox, motor, drum bearings) — may need part lead time; we provide loaner options where possible and discuss repair vs replacement economics.
Cost depends on model, parts required, and whether on-site labor or workshop drop-off is chosen. Call 0723613664 for a free initial consultation and ballpark estimate. (GossTech™ • 0723613664)
Preventive maintenance tips (keep your washing machine healthy)
- Run a maintenance (tub clean) cycle monthly.
- Use the correct detergent and measured amounts (HE for front-load).
- Don’t overload — follow load limits on the label.
- Keep the door open after cycles to air the drum.
- Inspect hoses annually for bulges or cracks and replace every 3–5 years.
- Clean the filter and detergent drawer regularly.
Following these simple steps reduces breakdowns and extends appliance life — and reduces repair bills.
