An older washing machine with a single fault is often worth fixing. One with worn bearings or a failed motor usually isn't — and the last thing you want is to spend on a repair and replace the machine anyway. The Express Diagnostic gets a qualified technician on site to give you a straight answer: what's wrong, what it'd cost, and whether that stacks up against a new unit.

You get a written assessment you can act on, and if you choose to proceed the diagnostic fee comes off the repair. If it's not worth fixing, we'll tell you — plainly.

What’s Included

Exactly what the technician does on the day.

Full inspection of the fault

We inspect the washer against your described symptoms — won't spin, won't drain, leaking, banging, mid-cycle stops, error codes.

Root-cause identification

Bearings, drum spider, motor, control board, pump — we identify the likely root cause and any related wear that's about to fail.

Written repair-or-replace assessment

Some faults (a worn bearing on an older top-loader) cost more to fix than the machine is worth. We tell you which side of the line you're on.

Indicative repair cost

An on-the-spot indication of the repair cost so you can decide then and there.

No-obligation outcome

You decide. If you proceed with the repair, the diagnostic fee is credited toward the work.

Straight 'replace it' advice

If a major component has gone on an older machine, we'll say so. No selling you a repair that doesn't make sense.
