How to Repair Washing Machine Parts
When repairing washing machine parts, it’s important to consider safety and your skill level. Don’t forget to check the machine’s warranty as well.
One of the washing machine parts you can DIY repair is the hose. Just make sure to turn off the machine and your water supply first. You may replace the hose by buying the correct size from authorized stores. You may clean the detergent dispensers to remove soap buildup. For door seals, wipe them down using a mildew cleaner.
Remember: If you’re unsure about troubleshooting or if the problems persist, it’s best to consult a qualified washing machine technician. For your convenience, you may just book online via Teko! Choose your preferred schedule and one of our certified technicians will visit your location to do the diagnosis and repair.
