Water will not drain
Coins, hair clips and lint collect in the pump filter until the water has nowhere to go. Sometimes the pump itself has failed. Either way the machine stops mid-cycle, full of water.
Washing machine repair in Dubai usually comes down to a few faults: a blocked pump, a torn door seal, worn bearings or detergent build-up. We test the machine at your home, tell you what failed and send you the price on WhatsApp before any part is changed.
Most faults show a clear sign before the machine stops completely. These are the ones we are called for most in Dubai homes.
Coins, hair clips and lint collect in the pump filter until the water has nowhere to go. Sometimes the pump itself has failed. Either way the machine stops mid-cycle, full of water.
Most leaks come from a torn door seal, a loose inlet hose or a cracked detergent drawer. Water under a machine can damage the floor and the flat below, so it is worth finding quickly.
A drum that thumps or roars on the spin usually means worn bearings or broken suspension. Left alone, the drum can start damaging the outer tub.
Clothes come out soaking. The cause can be a worn motor, a faulty door lock, a drainage problem or simply an unbalanced load.
The door lock stops the machine starting until it is closed safely. When it fails, the machine will not start or will not release the door at the end.
Detergent residue and damp inside the door seal and drawer grow mould. Cleaning helps, but a badly marked seal needs replacing.
The faults are similar across machines. Access, parts and the way each one fails are not.
The most common machine in Dubai apartments. The door seal, pump filter and bearings are where most faults sit.
Loads from the top, with the drum on a vertical axis. Common in villas and older buildings, with different belts and suspension.
Washes and dries in one drum. The drying side adds heaters, sensors and a condenser, so there is more to test.
Fitted behind a kitchen door. The fault may be simple, but getting the machine out and back needs care.
Most machines do not simply wear out. They are worn down by the same few habits and conditions.
Most machines have a small filter behind a flap at the bottom front. Cleaning it every month or two prevents most drainage faults.
An overloaded drum strains the bearings and motor on every spin. Leaving a hand's width of space at the top protects both.
Extra powder or liquid does not wash better. It leaves residue that clogs the drawer, feeds mould and can cause drainage faults.
Machines squeezed into cupboards or small balconies knock against walls on the spin. A little space around the machine reduces wear.
A machine that rocks on uneven feet shakes itself apart on the spin. Adjusting the feet takes minutes.
If the bearings have gone on an older machine, or the drum is damaged, the repair can cost a large share of a new unit. We tell you that at the diagnosis, before you spend anything.
You get the price on WhatsApp before anyone changes a part.
The model number is usually on a sticker inside the door or on the back. Send a photo of it and a short video of the fault on WhatsApp.
We check the pump, seals, bearings, motor and controls to find the actual cause.
You get the fault and the price before any part is fitted. If the machine is not worth repairing, we say so.
Once repaired, we run a cycle to check it fills, washes, drains and spins.
It depends on the fault and the part. Send the model number and a short video of the problem on WhatsApp and we reply with a price before we visit.
Often, if you book early and send the model number, so the likely parts come with us. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you how long it will take.
Pumps, door seals, door locks and hoses are usually worth replacing at any age. Failed bearings or a damaged drum on an older machine often are not. We give you the facts so you can decide.
Switch it off at the wall. If you are comfortable, put towels down and drain it through the small filter flap at the bottom front. Otherwise leave the door closed and send us a photo.
We work on the washing machine brands found in most Dubai homes. Send the model number and we will confirm before we visit.
Most of Dubai, including Deira, Bur Dubai, Al Nahda, Al Qusais, Al Barsha, Dubai Marina, JLT, Business Bay, Mirdif and Silicon Oasis, with no travel charge inside any of them.
No travel charge inside any of these areas.
A photo of the model sticker and a short video of the fault is all we need. Say whether it will not drain, spin, start or stop leaking, and we reply on WhatsApp with a price.
Laundry areas often need a plumber or electrician too. Booked together, the same visit can cover the rest.
