A broken washing machine disrupts the whole week, which is why S&D Ireland offers Kirkby households a straightforward choice between a fixed price repair and a new appliance. Repairs are handled by Appliance Repair Men, our dedicated repair service, from the same Ormskirk premises as our shop.
Common washing machine faults we repair in Kirkby
Door locked. If the interlock fails the machine may refuse to start or keep the door shut after the cycle, which is a common fault on machines that see daily use.
Not heating. Washing that comes out cold and grubby usually means the heating element or its thermostat has failed, often because limescale has built up over the years.
Not draining. Water left in the drum is usually down to a blocked pump filter, a kinked drain hose or a pump that has seized on a coin or a sock. Clearing the system from the filter to the standpipe solves most draining faults in one visit.
Not spinning. A machine that washes but will not spin may simply be sensing an unbalanced load, but if it happens every time the cause is often worn carbon brushes, a slipping belt or a faulty speed sensor.
We work on models from Bosch, Samsung, LG, Beko, Hotpoint and Indesit, and our engineers carry the parts that fail most often, so many repairs are completed on the first visit.
What happens on the visit
We keep appointments to a clear time window and call ahead if anything changes. Once the washing machine is working again, our engineer explains what was done and shares a few simple habits that help prevent the same fault coming back.
Repair or replace your washing machine
A sensible rule of thumb is that a washing machine under eight years old with a single failed part is almost always worth repairing, while an older appliance needing a motor or control board may not be. Our engineer will explain the options in plain English, and if a replacement makes more sense you can browse new models on the S&D Ireland website.
Clear, fixed pricing
Our repair pricing is simple. There is a low call out fee of just £30 refunded against parts, or a replacement domestic appliance. If the engineer can repair your washing machine during the visit, the labour is a fixed £60 plus the cost of parts, and every new part we fit comes with 12 months warranty.
Because our engineers are based locally in West Lancashire, we can reach most homes in Kirkby quickly. That matters when a broken washing machine is disrupting the household, and it keeps travel costs out of the price you pay.
