Repair guide →
Washer won't fill with water
Check the water tap is open, the inlet hose isn't kinked or frozen, and the supply filter isn't clogged. We diagnose the water inlet valve and pressure switch.
Repair guide →
Washer won't spin
Clothes come out soaked. Often an unbalanced load, a faulty door lock or lid switch, or a worn drive belt. We diagnose the specific component.
Repair guide →
Washer is leaking
Water on the laundry room floor. Loose supply hose connections, a misaligned drain filter, or a worn door seal. We trace the source and fix it on the spot.
Repair guide →
Washer is making loud noises
Banging, grinding, or squealing during spin. Worn drum bearings, unbalanced loads, or worn shock absorbers. A drum that rumbles on spin often needs bearings and a tub seal.
Repair guide →
Washer won't turn on
No power at all. We check the power outlet, circuit breaker, control board and door lock mechanism to trace the fault.
Repair guide →
Washer smells bad (musty odor)
Mold and mildew in the door gasket. Front-loaders are prone to this due to their airtight seal. We clean or replace moldy gaskets and address drainage issues.
Repair guide →
Washer vibrates excessively / walks
Machine moves during the spin cycle. Usually an unlevel floor, worn suspension components, or an unbalanced load. We level the machine and replace worn shocks if needed.
Repair guide →
Clothes come out still wet
An unbalanced load, a broken drive belt, a faulty capacitor, or a foreign object blocking the drain outlet. We diagnose the specific component and repair it.

Should you repair or replace your fully-automatic washer?
Year 8 is the hinge. Before it, repair almost anything. After it, replace once the quote passes half the price of a new machine.
When to repair
If your machine is under 8 years old, the repair is under 50% of replacement, and the fault is a component — repair is the smarter choice.
- Machine is under 8 years old
- The fault is a component: pump, door lock, control board, belt, valve
- Everyday failures stay affordable
When to replace
If your machine is over 8 years old, the repair exceeds 50% of replacement, and the fault is structural — replacement is usually the wiser decision.
- Machine is over 8 years old
- Repair cost exceeds 50% of a new machine
- Structural fault: drum bearings, outer tub, motor
- uncomfortably close to a new washer
- Leaking outer tub or rusted-through drum is not worth repairing at any age

Fully-automatic washing machine repair FAQs
Answers to the questions customers ask most.
How much does fully-automatic washing machine repair cost in Saudi Arabia?
The inspection is free and there is no obligation to proceed.
What does the 5C error code mean on a Samsung washer?
Samsung 5C (also shown as 5E or E2) is a drain error — the washer is not draining the water out. Common causes are a clogged drain pump filter, a kinked drain hose, or a faulty drain pump. Start by cleaning the pump filter behind the small access panel at the bottom front of the machine — this is often a free fix.
What does the OE error code mean on an LG washer?
LG OE means the washer is not draining. The most common cause is a clogged drain pump filter, followed by a kinked drain hose or a faulty drain pump. Clean the pump filter first; if the code persists, the drain pump likely needs replacement.
Is it worth repairing an old washing machine?
Use the 8-year, 50% rule. Before year 8, repair almost anything — a drain pump, door lock or control board is nearly always cheaper than a new machine. After year 8, replace when the quote passes half the price of a new unit. Structural failures (drum bearings, outer tub, motor) on machines over 8 years are usually not worth repairing.
What areas do you serve?
