The Appliance Repair Men from S&D Ireland are a domestic appliance repair company working from Ormskirk. Our engineers cover Tarleton, Hesketh Bank, Banks and Much Hoole. A combined machine runs longer cycles than a standalone washer, so its parts work harder. As a result, our washer dryer repair Tarleton engineers often find wear that a simple washing machine would not show for years.

Leaks and door seals

Water on the floor usually starts at the door seal. The rubber faces hot air on every drying cycle, so it hardens and splits sooner than on a washer. Coins and underwire can also nick the seal and cause a slow drip. Elsewhere, a loose sump hose or a cracked detergent drawer may be to blame. Our engineer dries the area, runs a short cycle and watches where the water appears.

Motors, brushes and mid-cycle stops

If the drum will not turn, the motor is a common suspect. On many models, worn carbon brushes stop the motor long before the motor itself fails. Fitting new brushes is a modest repair that often gives the machine years more life. However, a machine that halts mid-cycle and shows an error may have a faulty control board or a wiring fault instead. So we read the code, then test the parts it points to.

Fluff in the drying duct

Unlike a tumble dryer, most washer dryers have no lint filter you can reach easily. Over time, fluff collects in the duct and around the drying fan. Eventually the airflow drops, the machine runs hot and drying takes far longer. Cleaning the duct and checking the fan motor often restores normal drying without any new parts. If the heater has also suffered from the extra heat, we test it at the same time.
