If you need further help, we’re always happy to provide straightforward, honest advice and professional appliance repair services across Dorset.
Why won't my washing machine spin?
First, try redistributing the laundry and running a spin cycle again. If the machine still won’t spin or isn’t draining properly, it’s best to have it checked by an experienced appliance repair engineer.
Why is my fridge not getting cold?
First, check that the temperature settings are correct and that the vents inside the fridge are not blocked. If the problem continues, a professional inspection may be required.
Why is my tumble dryer not heating up?
Check and clean the lint filter and ensure the vent hose is not obstructed. If the dryer still runs without producing heat, it may require repair.
Why is my washing machine making loud banging noises?
Try redistributing the laundry and running another cycle. If the noise continues, the machine should be inspected to prevent further damage.
Why won't my oven heat up properly?
Check whether the oven is reaching the correct temperature. If it is heating unevenly or not at all, a repair may be needed.
Why does my oven burn food?
If you notice uneven cooking or consistently overcooked food, the oven may need calibration or repair.
Why isn't my dishwasher drying dishes properly?
Make sure rinse aid is topped up and avoid overcrowding the machine. If dishes remain wet after a cycle, the appliance may require attention.
Why is my fridge freezer leaking water?
Check for ice build-up and clear any visible blockages. If the leak continues, the appliance should be inspected and repaired.
Why is my dishwasher not cleaning properly?
Clean the filters and spray arms first. If dishes are still coming out dirty, a repair may be required.
Why is my Sage coffee machine not working properly?
Regular cleaning and descaling can help prevent many common faults. If the machine is leaking, not producing coffee, or displaying error messages, a professional repair may be required.
Why is my De'Longhi coffee machine not making coffee?
A De’Longhi coffee machine may fail to make coffee because of blockages, limescale build-up, grinder problems, or faults with the brewing unit or pump.
Try cleaning the machine and running a descaling cycle if recommended by the manufacturer. If the problem continues, the machine may need servicing or repair

He's quick, efficient, and affordable
My Samsung washer dryer stopped draining. He came out within hours, troubleshot the issue quickly, and then sorted it with a spare part from his own stock. Excellent!
