Do I need a plumber or an electrician for a washing machine fault.

Posted by Paul Jane, on Sun 24 Nov 2013 06:45pm

My washing machine recently started making a funny noise & now doesn't work. The drum doesn't spin so it could be the belt or the motor but I don't know whether I need a plumber or an electrician

Hi Paul. Find a washing machine engineer who is knowlegdable in your make of machine. Make sure you obtain a quote for the work first as it might be more sensible and cheaper in the long run to buy a new machine. Good luck Fraser

Hi Paul, Best bet is have a look in your local free paper for Washing Machine repairs, or Google it, This will be someone who knows all the machines ans will have access to spares quickly/ Reece Hosken Handyman Solutions

neither . there are specialist kitchen appliance repairers that have a good working knowledge of plumbing/elecrics/mechanics . most sparkys I know wouldnt know the basics of how an electric motor works :)
