15. Drain pump failure
16. Timer or control board failures

1. Machine won’t start / no power

Diagnosis: Technician checks power supply, plug, fuse, wall socket, and internal wiring. We test the mains lead and the door/lid switch (many machines won’t start if lid switch fails). We use a multimeter to verify continuity and voltage.
Repair: Replace faulty power cable or fuse, repair wiring, replace lid switch, or replace the control board if required. We always present quote before replacing expensive components.

2. Machine fills but doesn’t drain

Diagnosis: Inspect drain hose for kinks/obstructions, check lint filter and drain pump, listen for pump motor hum. We also test the drain pump electrically.
Repair: Remove blockages, clean or replace the drain filter, replace a failed drain pump, or repair wiring to the pump.

3. Machine leaks water

Diagnosis: Check inlet hoses, door gasket (front loaders), drum seals, detergent drawer, internal hoses, and clamps. We do a pressure test and observe leak points.
Repair: Tighten or replace inlet/outlet hoses, replace door seals/gaskets, replace or reseal corroded clamps, and repair or replace damaged outer tub components.

4. Machine vibrates or moves during spin

Diagnosis: Verify load balance, check suspension springs/dampers, inspect shock absorbers, examine drum bearings and check whether machine is level.
Repair: Rebalance load, replace shock absorbers or suspension springs, level the machine, and replace worn bearings if necessary (bearing replacement often requires specialist workshop work).

5. Machine won’t spin or agitator not turning

Diagnosis: Test motor, drive belt (for belt-driven machines), coupler (in some top-loaders), clutch assembly, and motor capacitor. Also check for fault codes.
Repair: Replace broken belt or coupler, repair or replace motor capacitor, service the motor, or replace a faulty motor.

6. Excessive noise (grinding, banging, squealing)

Diagnosis: Identify whether noise occurs during filling, agitation, or spin. Inspect drum bearings, foreign objects in drum/filters, worn motor mountings, or loose elements.
Repair: Clear foreign objects, replace bearings, tighten or replace mounting hardware, or replace worn parts.

7. Error codes / flashing lights

Diagnosis: Read error code from the display or control panel, consult the machine’s fault code chart, run diagnostic mode. We verify the root cause (sensor, valve, pump, or board).
Repair: Fix the identified component — which may be a pressure sensor, water level sensor, temperature sensor, or main control board. Replace sensors or boards as required with tested parts.

8. Poor wash performance / clothes still dirty

Diagnosis: Check detergent drawer, water inlet valves, temperature settings, drum condition, and inlet water pressure. Also check for clogged dispensing, overloading, or unsuitable cycle choice.
Repair: Clean detergent drawer and filters, unclog inlet valves, suggest correct detergent/measure and correct cycle selection, service valves or heating element if necessary.

9. Machine stops mid-cycle or restarts randomly

Diagnosis: Inspect for intermittent power issues, overloaded circuits, thermal cutouts on the motor, or faulty control boards.
Repair: Repair power wiring, replace thermal cutouts, reset or replace control board, and clear overloaded situations.

10. Smelly machine / mildew and residue buildup

Diagnosis: Inspect drum, gasket, detergent drawer, and filter for buildup and mold. Check for poor drainage or low-temperature cycles that cause residue.
Repair / Preventive work: Deep-clean drum and gasket, descale heating element and water lines, clean filters, run sanitizing cycles, and recommend regular maintenance or use of washing machine cleaners.

11. Door / lid won’t lock or open

Diagnosis: Check door lock mechanism, interlock switch, or mechanical latch. Safety mechanisms may prevent opening.
Repair: Replace door lock assembly, repair latch, or manually release locks if required; ensure proper functioning afterwards.

12. Electrical shocks or tripping breakers

Diagnosis: Test earth continuity, insulation, and grounding. Check whether water has reached electrics and whether internal earth wires are intact.
Repair: Re-establish proper earthing, replace damaged wiring or insulation, fix or replace faulty components, and advise on safety.

13. Water temperature problems (no hot water)

Diagnosis: Inspect heating element, thermostats, wiring to heating elements, and hot water inlet valves. Test continuity and element resistance.
Repair: Replace faulty heating element or thermostat, repair wiring, or repair the hot water inlet valve.

14. Drum or tub damage (rust, dents)

Diagnosis: Visual inspection for rust, perforations, and structural damage. If drum integrity is compromised, leaking or further damage may occur.
Repair: Minor rust can be treated; significant tub damage usually requires replacement (we assess cost vs replacement).

15. Drain pump failure

Diagnosis: Test pump motor, check for foreign objects, and test power to the pump.
Repair: Remove blockages; replace pump if seized or electrically failed.

16. Timer or control board failures

Diagnosis: Run diagnostic, check for erratic behaviour and lack of response to controls. Verify voltage to control board and inspect for burn marks.
Repair: Replace the control board or timer module. We stock common control modules and can order model-specific boards when needed.

How GossTech diagnoses — our step-by-step process

1. Initial remote triage: Over the phone we collect symptoms and error codes. We always ask model and make.
2. On-site inspection: Technician arrives with basic spares and diagnostic tools (multimeter, pressure tester, pumps, belts, seals).
3. Systematic checks: Power, water inlet, drainage, mechanical drive system, electronics, and safety interlocks.
4. Transparent quote: We explain faults, repair options, and provide a cost estimate before proceeding.
5. Repair or replacement: Parts fitted (OEM or high-quality equivalents), testing and a final run-through of cycles.
6. Warranty & follow-up: Parts/workmanship warranty and follow-up advice for maintenance.

Local tips for Nasra residents to avoid common faults

• Avoid overloading washers — balance loads to prevent suspension wear.
• Use the correct detergent and measure it — excess detergent leaves residues and causes smell.
• Inspect hoses every 12 months for bulges and cracks — replace every 3–5 years.
• Run a hot cleaning cycle monthly for front-loaders to prevent mildew.
• If you hear unusual noises, stop using the machine and call for inspection — continued use can cause bigger failures.
