🔍 How TechSmith Diagnoses Washing Machine Faults
We follow a systematic, professional diagnostic process to accurately identify the root cause of your washing machine problem before carrying out any repair. Here is how we do it:
Step 1 — Initial Assessment
Our technician arrives at your location in Upper Chokaa and listens to your description of the problem. We then visually inspect the machine for any obvious damage or signs of wear.
Step 2 — Electrical & Power Testing
We test the power supply, fuses, sockets, and electrical connections to rule out electrical faults before opening the machine.
Step 3 — Functional Test Run
We run the machine through its wash cycle — or as far as it will go — to replicate the fault and observe exactly where it fails.
Step 4 — Component-Level Diagnosis
Using professional diagnostic tools and multimeters, we test individual components including the motor, pump, heating element, control board, sensors, and wiring harness.
Step 5 — Error Code Reading
For digital machines, we read and interpret error or fault codes displayed on the machine's panel to pinpoint the exact fault quickly.
Step 6 — Transparent Repair Quote
Once the fault is identified, we give you a clear, honest repair estimate before any work begins — no hidden charges.
Step 7 — Repair & Testing
We carry out the repair using quality spare parts, then run a full test cycle to confirm the machine is working perfectly before we leave.

💡 Tips to Prevent Washing Machine Problems
Prevent costly washing machine breakdowns with these expert maintenance tips from TechSmith:
1. Don't Overload the Machine
Always follow the manufacturer's recommended load capacity. Overloading strains the motor, drum bearings, and drive belt, leading to premature failure.
2. Use the Right Detergent & Amount
Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent for front-load machines. Using too much detergent causes excessive foam, which damages the pump and drum seals over time.
3. Clean the Drum Regularly
Run an empty hot wash cycle with white vinegar or a washing machine cleaner once a month to remove soap scum, bacteria, and odour from the drum.
4. Check & Clean the Filter
Most washing machines have a drain pump filter at the front base. Clean it every 1–3 months to prevent blockages and drainage problems.
5. Leave the Door Open After a Wash
Always leave the washing machine door slightly open after use to allow the drum and door seal to dry out. This prevents mould and mildew growth on the rubber seal.
6. Level Your Machine Properly
Ensure your washing machine stands on a flat, level surface. An unbalanced machine vibrates excessively, wearing out the drum bearings and suspension springs faster.
7. Check Pockets Before Loading
Always check clothing pockets and remove coins, keys, and small objects before loading. These can damage the drum, pump, and drain hose.
8. Inspect Hoses Regularly
Check the inlet and drain hoses every few months for cracks, bulges, or loose connections. Replace hoses every 3–5 years as a preventive measure.
9. Don't Ignore Error Codes
If your machine displays an error code, don't ignore it. Call TechSmith immediately on 0704843613 for a quick diagnosis before the problem worsens.
10. Schedule Annual Servicing
Book a professional washing machine service with TechSmith once a year. We clean, inspect, lubricate, and test all components to keep your machine running efficiently.
