Washing Machine Maintenance & Repair Tips - City Electronics

Regular care and timely repairs keep your washing machine running efficiently and extend its service life. City Electronics provides expert washing machine repair and maintenance across Bengaluru to help you avoid costly breakdowns and enjoy consistent performance.




Why Regular Maintenance Matters


Washing machines combine mechanical, electrical, and electronic components that work together. Dirt, detergent residue, worn seals, or clogged filters gradually reduce performance. Routine maintenance prevents common problems such as leaks, drainage failures, bad odours, and motor strain.





DIY Checks You Can Do



  • Check hoses for cracks or bulges and replace if aged or damaged.

  • Clean the detergent drawer and run a monthly hot-water cleaning cycle to remove residue.

  • Clean lint filters and the pump inlet screen to maintain drainage performance.

  • Keep the door slightly open between cycles to prevent mould and unpleasant odours.

  • Avoid overloading the drum to reduce wear on bearings and suspension components.





Common Faults & Professional Fixes


Even with good maintenance, machines need professional attention for complex faults. City Electronics handles a wide range of issues, including electrical failures, motor and drum problems, PCB faults, inlet valve failures, pump blockages, and more. Trained technicians use diagnostic tools and genuine parts to restore reliable operation.





Signs You Need Professional Repair



  • Machine fails to start or stops mid-cycle

  • Loud unusual noises or heavy vibration

  • Persistent water leakage or pooling
