Washer & Dryer Repairs in Nairobi Kenya

Washing machine repair in Nairobi Kenya has been one of our top services. We repair washing machines that are not working, draining or noisy. Call our technician to repair them. There are a couple of things you can check that might save you time and money.

If your washing machine isn’t draining, make sure that you haven’t overloaded it. An overloaded washer may become off balance, keeping it from spinning properly, which can prevent proper drainage.

Some washers have a filter that needs to be cleaned occasionally. For example, front-loading washing machines often have a filter near the bottom of the unit. Check the owner’s manual that came with your washer to see if this may be the case.

If your washing machine is noisy, check that it’s not overloaded and ensure the legs are properly levelled. In addition, be aware that washing machines are going to be noisy if they’re on the second or third floor of the home, simply because they’re on wooden floors rather than concrete.

If you have a new washing machine and it’s noisy, it’s probably not in need of repair. Today’s washers spin at up to 1,200 rotations per minute, which creates a lot of noise.

WASHING MACHINE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE IN NAIROBI KENYA

Servicing Washer inlet hoses

Turn off the water supply and undo the hose connections at both ends – they should never be more than handtight. Remove the washers from the connections and replace if they appear worn or there is water staining around the connection points on the back of the machine.

Using pliers, carefully draw the hose filters out of the back of the valve bodies. Rinse filters under running water and, before refitting, remove any debris lodged in the valve inlet, making sure none of it getspushed into the valve itself.

Replacing a Washing machine inlet valve /

Unplug the machine, turn off the water supply and disconnect the inlet hoses. Next, remove the top panel to gain access to the valves. Disconnect the electrical connections to a valve by gripping the terminals, not the wires, with a pair of long-nosed pliers. Then ease them apart.

Remove the screws securing the valve to the back of the machine. Don't try to pull the hose to the detergent tray off the valve outlet – a ridge on the end of the outlet resists force. Instead, use a flat-bladed screwdriver to lever the hose off. Fit the new valve in the reverse order.

Fitting a new washing machine handle & Removing door

Replacement door handle kits are available for most models. To remove the faulty handle, you must first take the door off the machine by undoing the hinge fixings. This often reveals a small cut-out, normally hidden by the hinge, in the door inset.

Starting at the cut-out, use two flat-bladed screwdrivers to carefully lever the inset away from the outer rim, stepping one screwdriver over the other until the two parts click apart. With the inset removed, dismantle the handle mechanism and use the replacement kit to fit the new one.

Replacing a washer drum drive belt
Test the tension of a drive belt by pressing it midway between the pulleys; it should have about 15mm of play. On some machines, one of the motor mounting bolts passes through a bracket with a slot in it, allowing the motor to be moved and belt tension adjusted. If a glance at the bolts shows no slots, your machine has an elasticated belt, which has to be replaced if it stretches.

Fixing machine drum belt
To remove the belt, you have to twist it so that its wearing surface faces out, then start to rotate it, making sure you don't pinch your fingers between belt and drum pulley. The belt will flip off the drum pulley. Loop the new belt over the washer motor pulley, then stretch it onto the drum pulley by rotating it. The drum pulley is slightly crowned to enable the belt to centre on it; slide the belt in or out on the motor pulley until it is correctly aligned vertically between the two pulleys.
