Washing Machine is tearing my clothes

Washing Machine is tearing my clothes

When your washing machine is marking or tearing your clothes it is usually caused by one of two faults:

  • Check the Drum for rough edges. You can do this by using tissue paper to rub against the inner surface of the Drum. If the tissue paper tears, it’s a sharp that causes it.


  • The front drum felt or, front felt as it’s known in the trade. It’s used to support the front of the tumble dryer drum as it rotates. A simple system and very effective. If you’re getting a scratching noise in your tumble dryer this is a good place to start looking.

 

If this seal is worn or torn the clothes in the drum may get caught and torn in the space between the front housing and the front lip of the Drum. Replace if Faulty.

Should this all prove too difficult and you need a to call a washing machine repairs in Sydney give Oxford Service Appliance Repairs a call for all your washer repairs in Sydney.

My Dishwasher door will not stay closed

My Dishwasher door will not stay closed

Generally when your dishwasher door won't stay shut it’s something simple that is causing the problem.

This problem is normally caused by a fault in one of three items 

 Door Catch

The Door Catch on many dishwashers is adjustable. If your Dishwasher Door is easy to close but will not stay closed, adjust the Door Catch to allow the door to stay closed more easily. If you can't adjust the Door Catch, yours may not be adjustable. If the Door Catch is worn, you may need to replace the Door Catch. If this doesn’t sort it, check the Door Hinge or Door Spring to see if they’re in line.

 Door Spring 

Your dishwasher has a Door Spring attached to the Door Hinge at either side to counterbalance the weight of the Dishwasher Door. If either or both of these are broken, the door feels quite heavy, will drop quickly, you’ll need to replace both Door Springs.

 Door Hinge

 The Door Hinges are important to keeping the door closing properly. If they're bent or warped, you probably need to replace them. If they are bent, it’s very difficult to straighten them sufficiently in order for them to work properly. We recommend you replace both Door Hinges.

Door seal - If your dishwasher is new - or if you have just replaced a door seal - the door may be difficult to keep closed for a week or two. If the tightness persists, try adjusting the Door Catch, if it's adjustable. If it's not adjustable, there's probably nothing you can do immediately. Try setting the dishwasher on the hottest cycle to help the seal to adjust to the shape of the Dishwasher Door. The Door Seal should compress over time.

 

Should this all prove too difficult and you need a to call a dishwasher repairs in Sydney give Oxford Service Appliance Repairs a call for all your dishwasher repairs in Sydney.

If you still fancy doing DIY dishwasher repairs  yourself and you need dishwasher spare parts or dishwashing machine spare parts & accessories then contact our sister company Oxford Appliance Parts in Bondi Junction for all your appliance spare parts needs.

My Tumble Dryer is not Heating

 My clother dryer is not heating

If yout tumble dryer does not heat, it might be worth checking

  • Heather Element
  • Thermal Cut-Out Heating Element 

The tumble dryer heater element is commonly known as the component which heats the air and dries the clothes. There are two types of Dryer heater elements - some models have the tumble dryer heater element with cut out stats fitted on the element housing and some models do not have the tumble dryer heater element with cut out stats. The cut outs are replaced as a separate part.

Some manufacturerers recommend replacing the cut outs when replacing the heater element. They are easily worked from the back of the tumble dryer by accessing the heater element using a standard screwdriver to remove / replace the heater.

Thermal Cut-Out as known as the TOC (thermal overload cut-out) or Heater Cut out is the component which controls the air temperature in your drier as it dries the clothes.

This part is also known as the thermostat, there are two types of tumble dryer thermal cut outs

  • Some models have the tumble dryer heater element with cut out stats fitted on the housing element.
  • While other models don't have the cut out stats fitted on the housing. 

The cut out stats are replaced as a separate part such as the exhaust pipe in the tumble dryer. Some manufacturers recommend replacing the cut outs when replacing the heater element.  They are easily worked from the back of the tumble dryer by accessing the heater element using a standard screwdriver to remove / replace the heater.

Should this all prove too difficult and you need a to call a tumble dryer repairs in Sydney give Oxford Service Appliance Repairs a call for all your clothes dryer repairs in Sydney.

If you still fancy doing DIY tumble dryer repairs and you need tumble dryer spare parts or clothes dryer spare parts & accessories then contact our sister company Oxford Appliance Parts in Bondi Junction for all your appliance spare parts needs.

The food in my fridge is freezing?

The food in my fridge is freezing?

 

This happens quite a lot. Here are a few pointers that might set you in the right direction.

  • Adjust the thermostat to a lower number on the dial. Check the temperature using a fridge/freezer thermometer (proper fridge temperature should be 2-5 degrees Celsius).
  • Cold air moves downwards. The bottom of the fridge is the coldest area. Move the food you need coldest around the fridge accordingly.
  • If you still have the problem at this stage, and, adjusting the thermostat dial isn’t correcting the fridge temperature. The thermostat looks like the culprit. Most fridge thermostats are unrepairable. Replace if faulty.
  • The final solution. There could be a leak in the gas/refrigerant system. You’ll need to consult a suitably qualified engineer.
