Is it worth repairing a washing machine?
It can be. If your washing machine is fairly new (think under 6 years old) and the issue is small, like a faulty pump or a door seal gone rogue, then yes, repairing is usually the smart choice.
However, if your appliance is pushing 10 years and the repair involves a full motor replacement or drum repair, it might be time to weigh up the cost of fixing versus buying new. Many modern machines are more energy-efficient too, which could save you money in the long run.
Quick tip: Ask for quotes from a few washing machine repair engineers in Hook so you can compare costs and options. Always ask about warranty and guarantee on the repair too, especially if the job’s a big one.
What's the most common washing machine problem?
A few faults crop up more than others. The most common washing machine repairs in Hook include:
- Spinning issues - often caused by a broken belt, dodgy motor or a sensor playing up
- Water not draining - could be a blocked filter, hose or faulty pump
- Excessive shaking - normal wobble is fine, but if it’s loud or banging, it could be a drum issue or unbalanced load
- Bad smells - usually down to limescale or grime building up inside
Many issues are fixable at home, like clearing blockages or cleaning filters.
If that doesn’t sort it, it’s best to bring in a washing machine repair technician.
What qualifications should a washing machine repairer have?
In the UK, many washing machine engineers have one of the following:
- Level 2 or 3 Diploma in Electrical Installation or Engineering
- Electronic Product Servicing apprenticeship
- Experience with major brands like Hotpoint, Bosch or AEG
- Some are also members of industry bodies like AMDEA, DASA or the IWGE.
That said, experience counts too. For a job done right, aim to find Hook engineers with notable experience and make sure you read reviews from real people.
When you find someone via Checkatrade, you can check their qualifications, accreditations and ratings; all in one place.
Can I fix a washing machine myself?
Some issues you can sort yourself, especially if you’re confident with DIY and have time on your side.
Common DIY fixes include:
- Clearing the filter (often clogged with lint or coins)
- Checking the hose for kinks or blockages
- Cleaning out the door seal and detergent drawer
But for anything involving electrics, water leaks, or replacement parts, it’s safer (and often cheaper long term) to call in a qualified machine fixer.
For peace of mind, it’s best to go with a checked washing machine repair engineer via Checkatrade.
