5 Most Common Washing Machine Repair Issues in Perth Homes
Understanding these problems helps you identify when professional repair is needed
🚰 1. Washing Machine Not Draining Properly
When your washing machine isn't draining, it's typically due to a blocked pump filter, clogged drain hose, or foreign objects stuck in the drain pump. Food particles, lint, coins, and small items can accumulate in the filter system, preventing proper water drainage. This is particularly common in Perth homes where hard water can exacerbate blockages, and busy households may accidentally leave items in pockets that can obstruct the drainage system.
More serious drainage issues can stem from a faulty drain pump motor, blocked standpipe connections, or damaged drain hoses. Sometimes the problem is related to the washing machine's installation, where the drain hose is positioned incorrectly or the standpipe is blocked. Our technicians will systematically check the filter, pump, hoses, and drainage connections to identify and resolve the root cause, ensuring your washing machine drains completely after every cycle.
🔊 2. Loud Noises and Banging Sounds
Excessive noise from your washing machine can range from annoying banging during the spin cycle to grinding sounds that indicate serious mechanical issues. Common causes include unbalanced loads causing the drum to hit the machine sides, foreign objects like coins trapped between the drum and tub, or worn drum bearings that create grinding noises. In Perth's variable climate, thermal expansion and contraction can also affect machine components over time.
More serious noise issues involve worn suspension springs, damaged motor mounts, or failing drive belts that create squealing sounds. Sometimes the washing machine itself is simply unlevel, causing excessive vibration and noise during operation. Our diagnostic process identifies whether noises are due to simple load balancing, worn components, or mechanical failures requiring professional repair with genuine replacement parts.
💧 3. Water Leaking from the Machine
Water leaks from washing machines are serious issues that can cause significant damage to your laundry room and surrounding areas. The most common cause is worn or damaged door seals in front-loading machines, which can crack or tear over time, allowing water to escape during wash cycles. Overloading the machine or using too much detergent can also cause excessive suds that lead to leaks, particularly relevant in Perth where many households have busy laundry schedules.
Other leak sources include loose or damaged hose connections, cracked inlet valves, or internal component failures like damaged tub seals or worn pump gaskets. Sometimes leaks develop gradually and may not be immediately noticeable until significant water damage occurs. Our comprehensive leak detection process identifies the exact source using specialised tools and provides lasting repairs, protecting your home from water damage while ensuring safe, reliable operation.
🌀 4. Drum Not Spinning or Poor Spin Performance
When your washing machine drum isn't spinning properly, clothes come out soaking wet and require much longer drying times. This issue often results from an unbalanced load triggering safety sensors, but can also indicate more serious problems like a broken drive belt, faulty lid switch, or worn clutch assembly. In top-loading machines, the agitator may fail to move, while front-loaders may complete the wash cycle but skip the spin entirely.
Motor problems, control board malfunctions, or transmission issues can also prevent proper spinning. Sometimes the issue is related to drainage problems, as many washing machines won't spin if water hasn't drained completely from the tub. Our technicians use systematic testing procedures to determine whether the problem requires simple adjustments, component replacement, or more complex mechanical repairs to restore proper spinning performance.
📳 5. Excessive Vibration and Machine Walking
When your washing machine vibrates excessively or "walks" across the floor during operation, it indicates balance or stability issues that can damage both the machine and your flooring. This is often caused by an unlevel installation where adjustable feet haven't been properly set, or by consistently unbalanced loads where heavy items like towels bunch up on one side during the spin cycle. Perth homes with wooden floors are particularly susceptible to washing machine movement during high-speed spins.
More serious vibration issues can result from worn suspension springs, damaged shock absorbers, or failing drum bearings that allow excessive drum movement. Sometimes shipping bolts haven't been removed from new installations, or the machine has been overloaded repeatedly, causing internal components to wear prematurely. Our service includes proper leveling, component inspection, and replacement of worn parts to eliminate excessive vibration and ensure stable, quiet operation.
