Machine fills very slowly
A washer can fill slowly because of low incoming water pressure, a clogged inlet screen, a kinked hose or a water valve that no longer opens properly. The symptom may be more noticeable during repeated rinses.
We compare the available supply with the machine inlet behaviour before deciding on a valve repair. A weak property supply should not be misdiagnosed as a defective controller.
Before the visit: Check whether other taps also have reduced flow, without dismantling the machine.
Tap or hose connection leaks
A leak behind the washing machine may originate at the tap, inlet connector, pressure hose or drain outlet rather than inside the appliance. A small drip can travel along a hose and become visible far from the source.
We distinguish plumbing-side defects from appliance-side defects, test connectors and inspect hose routing. Replacing an internal pump cannot solve a leaking stopcock.
Before the visit: Turn off the water supply if there is active uncontrolled leaking.
Residue on laundry after washing
Grey marks or detergent streaks may stem from poor rinsing, overloads, dispenser deposits or an insufficient water level. Some stains result from the garments themselves rather than an appliance defect.
We review detergent, programme, fabric mix and draining before investigating sensors or water valves. The goal is to identify a repeatable machine issue, not to sell parts for a detergent problem.
Before the visit: Record the fabric type and programme on which residue appears.
