Signs of a broken Flow meter, costs of repair in Nairobi The flow meter measures exactly how much water enters your washing machine.

Signs of a broken Air dome, costs of repair in Nairobi The air dome is the small chamber at the base of the wash tub where air gets trapped as water rises. Through the pressure hose, this trapped air tells the pressure switch exactly how much water is in the machine. It has no moving
Signs of a broken Power button, costs of repair in Nairobi The power button is the first and last touch of every wash day.

Signs of a broken Door lock assembly, costs of repair in Nairobi The door lock assembly is the safety guardian of every front-loading washing machine. It latches the door, verifies it is closed, and only then tells the control board to allow filling, washing, and high-speed spinning. It also keeps the door locked during cycles

Signs of a broken Door glass, costs of repair in Nairobi The door glass is the thick, curved window that lets you watch the wash while containing a drum of hot, soapy water under spin forces.

Signs of a broken Door boot seal, costs of repair in Nairobi The door boot seal — the big rubber gasket around the door opening — is the part that keeps a full tub of hot, soapy water inside a front-loading machine. It flexes with every door closure and squeezes against the door glass through
The door retaining spring is the small wire loop behind the door boot seal that pulls the door gently closed and holds the handle mechanism in its rest position. It also appears in the door assembly itself on many machines, returning the handle and catch after each pull. These unglamorous springs rust, stretch, and snap
