Washing machines are significant household investments. In Kenya, a quality washing machine costs between KES 25,000 and KES 150,000+. When a fault occurs, most homeowners assume the machine needs full replacement — but in the majority of cases, a single spare part costing KES 500 to KES 8,000 is all that’s needed to restore the machine to full working condition.
The motor drives the drum. Worn carbon brushes are one of the most common causes of a drum that won’t spin.
Parts Available:
Compatible Brands: Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Bosch, Beko, Hotpoint, Zanussi, Electrolux, Indesit, Miele
How to Know Your Motor or Brushes Have Failed:
The drive belt connects the motor to the drum. Worn or snapped belts are extremely common after 3–5 years of use.
Parts Available:
Compatible Brands: Samsung, LG, Bosch, Hotpoint, Zanussi, Indesit, Beko, Whirlpool, Electrolux, Miele
Signs of a Worn Drive Belt:
Drum bearings support the inner drum and allow it to spin smoothly. They are one of the most commonly replaced parts.
Parts Available:
Compatible Brands: Samsung, LG, Bosch, Whirlpool, Hotpoint, Beko, Zanussi, Electrolux, Indesit, Miele, Hisense
Signs of Failed Drum Bearings:
The door seal (rubber gasket) prevents water from leaking out of the drum during washing. Over time it splits, tears, or grows mould.
Parts Available:
Compatible Brands: Samsung, LG, Bosch, Miele, Hotpoint, Indesit, Zanussi, Beko, Electrolux, Whirlpool, Hisense
Signs Your Door Seal Needs Replacing:
The door latch (interlock) is a safety device that prevents the machine from operating when the door is open. If it fails, the machine won’t start.
Parts Available:
Compatible Brands: Samsung, LG, Bosch, Hotpoint, Beko, Indesit, Zanussi, Electrolux, Whirlpool, Miele, Hisense
Signs of a Faulty Door Latch:
The inlet valve controls the flow of cold and hot water into the machine. A faulty valve can cause the machine to not fill, overfill, or leak.
Parts Available:
Compatible Brands: Samsung, LG, Bosch, Whirlpool, Hotpoint, Beko, Zanussi, Electrolux, Indesit, Miele, Hisense
Signs of a Faulty Inlet Valve:
The drain pump removes water from the drum at the end of each cycle. A blocked filter or broken pump causes the machine to not drain.
Parts Available:
Compatible Brands: Samsung, LG, Bosch, Whirlpool, Hotpoint, Beko, Zanussi, Electrolux, Indesit, Miele, Hisense, Ariston
Signs of a Faulty Drain Pump:
The heating element heats the wash water to the selected temperature. A failed element means clothes wash in cold water or the machine trips the electrical circuit.
Parts Available:
Compatible Brands: Samsung, LG, Bosch, Miele, Hotpoint, Indesit, Beko, Zanussi, Electrolux, Whirlpool, Ariston
Signs of a Faulty Heating Element:
The thermostat and NTC sensor monitor and regulate water temperature during the wash cycle.
Parts Available:
Compatible Brands: Samsung, LG, Bosch, Hotpoint, Indesit, Beko, Zanussi, Electrolux, Whirlpool, Miele
The PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is the brain of the washing machine. It controls all functions including temperature, spin speed, and programme selection.
Parts Available:
Compatible Brands: Samsung, LG, Bosch, Hotpoint, Hisense, Beko, Indesit, Whirlpool, Zanussi
⚠️ Note: PCBs are model-specific. Please provide your model number when ordering from Techsmith Electronics Kenya for an exact match.
Signs of a Faulty Control Board:
Shock absorbers and springs keep the drum stable during the spin cycle, preventing excessive vibration and noise.
Parts Available:
Compatible Brands: Samsung, LG, Bosch, Hotpoint, Beko, Indesit, Zanussi, Electrolux, Whirlpool, Miele
Signs of Worn Shock Absorbers:
The pressure switch detects the water level inside the drum and tells the control board when to stop filling.
Parts Available:
Compatible Brands: Samsung, LG, Bosch, Hotpoint, Beko, Indesit, Zanussi, Electrolux, Whirlpool, Ariston
The dispenser drawer distributes detergent, fabric softener, and pre-wash liquid into the drum at the correct time.
Parts Available:

The pump filter (coin trap) catches coins, lint, and debris before they reach the drain pump.
