A blocked pump filter or a failed drain pump.
A snapped belt or worn motor brushes, both quick repairs.
A failed thermostat, a blocked air vent or a defrost fault.
Low gas from a leak, dusty condenser coils, a failed fan, thermostat or start relay.
We find and fix the leak first, then pull a vacuum and refill with the right gas for your fridge.
The grill element or the switch that feeds it has failed.
Blocked jets from spills, a wet or cracked igniter, or a faulty spark generator.
The spark is there but gas isn’t reaching the burner: jets, valve or supply.
A burnt-out element, thermostat or selector switch. On gas ovens, the igniter or valve.
A failed fan motor or fan element, or a thermostat reading the wrong temperature.
Worn hinges, a broken door lock or a hardened seal letting the heat out.
Blocked spray arms or filter, or a weak wash pump.
Water left in the bottom from a blocked filter, drain hose or pump.
Worn door seals, a split sump or a loose hose. Many models stop with a flood code.
A blown thermal fuse, failed heater or thermostat.
A snapped drum belt or a worn motor or idler pulley.
Blocked lint filter, vent hose or condenser, or a weak heater.
On Indesit washers without a display, the flashing lights are the error code. Count how many times the light flashes before it pauses, and send us the number.
