Diagnosis and testing
KES 500 to 1,500Every repair starts by finding the root cause, not just the symptom. We test control boards, wiring and safety switches, then inspect drums, pumps, motors and transmission before any part is ordered. The diagnostic fee is usually waived if you go ahead with the repair.

Care Tips and Repair or Replace
A well-kept washing machine can last 10 to 15 years. These habits prevent most emergency call-outs.
- Clean monthly. Wipe the door seal and clear the lint filter.
- Check hoses every 3 months. Look for bulges, cracks or mineral deposits, and replace rubber hoses about every 5 years.
- Do not overload. Keep loads to about 80% of the drum, especially heavy duvets and towels, to protect the motor and bearings.
- Protect from power surges. Nairobi's power fluctuations are a leading cause of control board failure. Plug the machine through a voltage stabiliser (AVR) rated at least 1,500W.
- Level the machine. If it shakes, check all four feet touch the floor and adjust the legs. It is often a free fix.
Repair or replace?
Repair if the cost is under 50% of a new machine and your washer is under half its expected lifespan.
Replace if repairs would cost more than half the price of a new one, or the machine is over 10 years old with recurring faults.
Our technicians give you an honest recommendation with the quote.

Do you offer a warranty on washing machine repairs?
Yes. Every repair carries a 3-month (90-day) warranty on parts and labour. If the same fault returns in that period we fix it at no extra charge. Genuine OEM parts also carry the manufacturer's own warranty.
Do technicians come to my home?

Should I repair or replace my washing machine?
Repair it if the cost is under 50% of a new machine and the machine is under half its expected lifespan. Replace it if the repair would cost more than half the price of a new one, or the machine is over 10 years old with recurring faults.
Why is my washing machine not draining?
Check the drain hose for kinks and clean the pump filter first. If water still stays in the drum, a blocked hose or a failing drain pump is the likely cause. Drain pump cleaning costs about KES 800 to 1,200 and replacement KES 2,500 to 4,500.
