What Mark repairs

Repairing your appliance usually costs a fraction of a new one — and saves it from going to landfill.

Washing machine drum

Washing machines

Not draining, not spinning, leaking, noisy drums, door locks, error codes, pumps, belts, bearings and heating elements.

Tumble dryer drum

Tumble dryers

No heat, drum not turning, squeaking, taking too long to dry — belts, elements, thermostats, sensors and condenser units.

Dishwasher with plates

Dishwashers

Not draining, not cleaning, leaking, not heating or stuck mid-cycle — pumps, spray arms, valves and control faults.

Microwave oven

Microwaves

Not heating, sparking, turntable not turning, door switches and dead panels — safely tested and repaired.

Back of a fridge freezer

Fridge freezers

Not cooling, iced-up freezers, water on the floor, noisy fans and faulty thermostats.

Burnt-out circuit board

Ovens & cookers

Not heating, fans, elements, thermostats, ignition, door seals and electrical faults on built-in and freestanding cookers.

Common faults & what causes them

Here are the faults Mark sees every week. If your appliance is doing any of these, it can usually be repaired.

Washing machines

Won't drain / water left in drumBlocked pump filter (coins, hair grips, buttons), kinked drain hose or a failed drain pump.

Very noisy or rumbling on spinWorn drum bearings, broken suspension or something stuck between the drum and tub.
Leaking waterSplit door seal, loose or perished hoses, pump seal or a cracked detergent drawer.

Drum won't turnSnapped drive belt, worn jockey wheel or motor fault.
Squeaking or thumpingWorn drum bearings, felt seals or jockey wheel.

Clean the lint filter after every load — a blocked dryer overheats and is a fire risk.

Back of a fridge with dusty condenser coils
Dusty condenser coils make a fridge work harder and run warm.

Which brands do you repair?

Most major brands, including Beko, Samsung, LG, Bosch, Hotpoint, Indesit, Whirlpool, Zanussi, AEG, Hoover, Candy, Siemens and Neff.

What should I tell you when I call?

The appliance, the make and model (usually on a sticker inside the door or on the back), any error code on the display, and what it's doing.
