Why you should get an appliance engineer to fix your faulty washing machine

When you’ve deliberately set aside time to deal with your family’s dirty washing, a faulty washing machine can put a major spanner in the works. That dreaded clothes pile can quickly take over your home, even for the smallest families. Washing machines combine electrical parts, water pipes and heavy, moving machinery, which can mean more than one potential cause for many common faults.

Take a problem with the drum, for example. If it’s not spinning, you could be looking at a broken drive belt, a worn brush, or a faulty control unit or motor. The quickest, safest option is to get professional help. A Local Heroes appliance engineer will remove the cover, take a good look and tell you exactly what’s wrong. If they can, they’ll fix the problem right then and there. If not, they’ll let you know what parts you need, order them and then arrange a convenient time to come back and finish the job. Your clothes will be fresh and clean in no time.
