Title: Washing Machine Repair
Post by: Peej on April 09, 2016, 11:24:49 AM

Can anyone recommend a good washing machine engineer?
Ours is making a funny noise during the spin cycle.

I know people have previously recommended David Wood but I have rung him and it seems he no longer does repairs, any other recommendation gratefully received.

Shame about David Wood , I checked and you're right @Peej , they've stopped doing washing machine repairs.

I understand that Martin at Lightning Repairs does washing machines. I've used him for video equipment repairs before and he was excellent:

Have you had any joy finding someone to repair the washing machine.

These days it is cheaper to buy a new one than to try and get one repaired.

We use Stockport Domestic Appliances - 440 0757/ 439 6577. They will usually be able to give you a price in advance & a lot cheaper than a new machine.

That's largely the reason why the likes of David Wood have stopped doing repairs.

When my washer died on me last year, I got a quote for a repair, but ended up getting a new one instead for only £30 more than the repairs would have cost.
