Commercial Washing Machine Repair - Common Issues

Shaw’s Commercial Laundry Solutions specialise in fast and reliable commercial washing machine repairs across Manchester and the North West.
With years of experience, we’ve encountered and fixed a wide variety of common issues, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum efficiency for your business.
Here are some of the most frequent problems we resolve:
- Washing machine not starting: If your machine won’t turn on at all, it could be due to electrical faults, faulty door switches, blown fuses, or control board issues. Our team can quickly identify the root cause and restore power, ensuring minimal disruption.
- Water not draining or filling: Problems with drainage or water fill levels can stem from blocked hoses, faulty inlet valves, clogged filters, or broken pumps. This can lead to incomplete cycles, soaking wet laundry, or even water damage.
- Unusual noises or vibrations: Banging, grinding, or excessive shaking often signals an issue with bearings, shock absorbers, or loose internal parts. These can worsen over time if left unaddressed. Our engineers can quickly carry out repairs to prevent further damage.
- Error codes of digital displays: Modern commercial washing machines often display fault codes when something goes wrong. These codes vary by manufacturer and model, but our engineers are fully trained in interpreting them and carrying out the required repair.
- Leaking water or detergent: Leaks are usually caused by worn seals, cracked hoses, or faulty door gaskets. In a commercial setting, leaks can become a health and safety hazard, not to mention costly in wasted detergent and water damage.
- Drum not spinning: A non-spinning drum can be caused by motor issues, worn belts, or faulty sensors. Without a functioning spin cycle, your laundry can come out soaking wet and unusable. We’ll get your drum spinning again quickly, so you can get back to business.
