The Appliance Repair Men from S&D Ireland operate from Ormskirk and cover Aughton, Town Green, Holt Green and Aughton Park. Washer dryers are popular in smaller kitchens and utility rooms because they save space. However, they also work harder than a standalone washing machine. Our Aughton washer dryer repair engineers look at both halves of the machine, because a wash fault often shows up as a drying problem.

Damp laundry at the end of a cycle

Damp clothes usually point to the drying heater, its thermostats or the fan that moves warm air through the drum. Fluff can also build up in the drying duct over the years, which slows the airflow and trips the overheat protection. We open the duct, clear any build-up and test the heater circuit, rather than assuming the most expensive part has failed.

Leaks, door seals and drum bearings

A washer dryer door seal takes heat as well as water, so it hardens and splits sooner than on a washing machine. Small tears let water escape at the front, often during the spin. Meanwhile, a rumbling drum usually means worn bearings, which also let the drum sit lower and rub the seal. We check the seal and bearings together so one repair does not hide the other.

Error codes and cycles that stop

Modern washer dryers stop and show a code when a sensor reports a problem. Common causes include a blocked drain pump, a faulty door lock or a temperature sensor giving false readings. Our engineer reads the code, then tests the part it points to, because a code tells you where to look rather than what to replace.
