Washer dryer repair in Lanarkshire
A washer dryer does both jobs in one drum, which means it can fail in both ways. Washing faults are usually the same as on a standard washing machine. Drying faults tend to come from blocked airflow, the condenser system or the heater.
Common problems
- Washes fine but won't dry, or dries slowly
- Won't drain or spin
- Leaks around the door or underneath
- Door lock fault stops the cycle
- Error codes on the display
- Damp, musty smell after drying
What to check first
- Unplug it, then clean the filter at the bottom front.
- Don't overload it, because washer dryers dry far less than they wash, so a half load dries better.
- Wipe the door seal and leave the door ajar between uses.
When to call an engineer
Call an engineer if it won't dry at all, if there's water leaking from the machine, or if the same error code keeps returning.
Common questions
Why does my washer dryer wash but not dry?
Overloading is the most common cause. If a half load still doesn't dry, the condenser, drain or heater may be faulty and needs an engineer.
Are washer dryers worth repairing?
Usually yes for common faults. If the drum bearing or main board has failed on an older machine, the engineer will tell you plainly whether repair still makes sense.
