Our Diagnostic Process — Step by Step
GossTech follows a standardized diagnostic workflow to ensure transparent, fast, and accurate repairs:
- Client intake & problem description: We record symptoms, machine model, purchase/repair history, and any error codes.
- On-site inspection or workshop intake: Technician visually inspects the machine, runs a quick static/visual test (power, hoses, visible leaks).
- Error code readout / electrical checks: For electronic models, we read fault codes, test voltage, and continuity using a multimeter.
- Mechanical testing: Test spin cycle, drain cycle, and listen for unusual noises. Check suspension, bearings, belts, couplings.
- Component-specific tests: Inlet valve coil resistance, heating element continuity (if present), motor capacitor ESR, pump motor operation.
- Estimate & approval: We prepare a clear, itemized quote (parts + labor). No work proceeds without client approval.
- Repair & parts replacement: We use genuine or high-quality OEM-equivalent parts and follow manufacturer assembly specifications.
- Quality assurance run: Post-repair test run of the full cycle; verify no leaks, correct spin, and normal operation.
- Customer handover: Explain the fault, what we replaced, preventive tips, and warranty terms.
- Optional follow-up: For major repairs we offer follow-up checks after 7–14 days for peace of mind.

- Regularly clean the detergent drawer and door gasket to prevent mold.
- Check and replace inlet hoses every 3–5 years to prevent catastrophic leaks.
- Leave the door slightly ajar after use to allow the drum to dry (prevents odour).
