Not draining
Blocked drainage, pump faults, hose restrictions or electrical/control problems can stop water leaving the machine.

Our repair approach
Clear diagnosis before repair
We begin with the symptoms you have noticed, check the components and controls connected with the fault, then explain what needs attention. A proper diagnosis helps avoid replacing parts unnecessarily.
How repair pricing works →Professional repair service
We diagnose the cause and repair the fault properly
A washing machine works through a sequence: lock, fill, wash, drain and spin. When one stage fails, the machine may stop later in the cycle even though the part that appears to be failing is not the real cause.
For example, a washer that will not spin may first need a drainage or door-lock check. A machine that will not fill may involve the water supply, inlet valve, pressure sensing or control system. The useful diagnosis follows the cycle in order.
Tell us whether the machine is a front-loader or top-loader, where the cycle stops, whether water remains inside, and any error code. That information is more useful than guessing a motor or control-board fault.
What we check
We test the systems that can cause the fault
We use the symptoms to guide our checks, then confirm the cause before recommending parts or repair work.
Drain path
Pump operation, filter or hose restriction and drain behaviour are checked before blaming a spin fault on the drive system.
Door or lid feedback
Many machines will not advance if the door or lid lock does not report a safe condition.
Drive system
Motor, belt, coupling, sensor and drum behaviour are considered when the machine has satisfied the earlier cycle conditions.
Water control
Inlet valves, water supply, pressure sensing and control signals matter when filling is slow, absent or continuous.
Safety note
If the machine is leaking onto electrical connections, producing a burning smell, tripping power or making severe mechanical noise, stop using it until the fault has been assessed.
How we diagnose the problem
We follow the wash cycle to the failed system
We check filling, drainage, door locking, drive, motor and controls according to the point where the machine stops.
Reproduce the symptom
We establish when the fault appears—fill, wash, drain, spin or power-up.
Check the dependent systems
For example, a machine may refuse to spin because it has not drained or because the door has not locked.
Inspect the likely components
Pumps, valves, locks, drive parts, wiring and controls are checked according to the symptom.
Test after the repair
The affected function should be checked through the relevant part of the cycle.
Our repair work
Repairs carried out by our technicians
We work directly on appliance components, electrical systems, cooling systems and controls, then test the repaired function before the job is complete.
Repairs we carry out
What we can repair once the fault is confirmed
Once we identify the cause, we explain the repair, the parts involved where applicable and what the appliance needs to operate correctly again.
Pumps, valves and locks
Common electromechanical parts can be replaced when the fault has been confirmed.
Drive and drum faults
Motor, belt, suspension, bearing and drum-related issues require different levels of repair and should be assessed individually.
Leaks
Door seals, hoses, pumps, dispensers and internal connections are traced according to where and when water appears.
Controls and wiring
Electronic and electrical faults are considered after the machine’s basic mechanical and water conditions are checked.

Washing machine repair costs in Durban
Typical washer repairs range from minor drainage, belt or lock work through to motor and control-board faults.
See Full Pricing GuideSymptom-led diagnosis
A washer that will not spin may have a drainage, lock or drive fault
Tell us where the cycle stops and what the machine does immediately beforehand. We will test the systems linked to that stage.
Drain first
If water remains in the drum, the machine may deliberately prevent high-speed spin. The drainage path must be checked first.
Door and load conditions
Door-lock feedback, imbalance and suspension behaviour can also interrupt or reduce spinning.
Drive and control
Belts, motors, sensors and control electronics become relevant when the basic conditions are satisfied but the drum still does not drive correctly.
Common questions
Washing Machine Repair FAQs
Answers to the questions customers commonly ask before a repair.
Why will my washing machine not spin?
A machine may refuse to spin because it has not drained, the door has not locked, the load is badly unbalanced, or there is a drive, motor or control fault.
Why does water stay in the drum?
A blockage, pump problem, hose restriction or control issue can stop drainage. The drain system should be checked before forcing another cycle.
Can you repair both front-loaders and top-loaders?
Yes, but their layouts and fault patterns differ. Tell us which type you have and the brand/model if visible.
Should I keep using a leaking washing machine?
If water is escaping unexpectedly, stop the cycle and isolate the appliance safely. Continued use can worsen water damage or expose electrical components.
