Common Washer Dryer Problems and How Glotech Repairs Can Help

Washer dryers are a convenient combination appliance, saving time and space by washing and drying clothes in one machine. However, they can develop faults that affect performance or reliability. Knowing the most common issues—and how to check them—can help prevent frustration and costly repairs. With over 50 years of experience, Glotech Repairs helps homes across the UK get their washer dryers back to full working order quickly and safely.

Common Washer Dryer Issues

1. Washer dryer won’t start
If your appliance won’t turn on, the problem may be a faulty power supply, door lock, or control board. Checking the plug and ensuring the door is fully closed is a simple first step.

2. Not washing or spinning properly
A washer dryer that doesn’t wash or spin may have a worn belt, motor issues, or blocked pumps. Inspecting filters and hoses can sometimes help, but persistent problems usually need professional attention.

3. Dryer function not working
If clothes are coming out damp, the heating element, thermostat, or airflow may be faulty. Cleaning the lint filter and vents can improve performance, but ongoing drying issues require an engineer.

4. Leaks during cycles
Leaks can be caused by damaged hoses, pumps, or door seals. Checking for blockages and inspecting seals regularly can prevent water damage.

5. Strange noises or vibrations
Thumping, grinding, or excessive vibration is often caused by foreign objects in the drum, worn bearings, or uneven placement. Ensuring the machine is level and clearing debris can sometimes help.

6. Error codes displayed
Modern washer dryers display codes to indicate faults, such as:

• E01 / F01 – Water inlet issue
• E02 / F02 – Drainage problem
• E03 / F03 – Door lock fault
• E09 / F09 – Heating or dryer fault

Quick Checks You Can Try

• Ensure the appliance is plugged in and the power supply is working.
• Clean filters, pumps, and hoses to prevent drainage or drying problems.
• Check the door is fully closed and the seal isn’t damaged.
• Ensure the machine is level and free of obstructions.
• Reset the appliance by switching off the power for a few minutes.

If these steps don’t solve the problem, arranging a visit from a qualified engineer is the safest way to restore your washer dryer’s full performance.
