In Ruaka

LG washing machine repair, where you are.

Ruaka is one of the fastest-growing corridors around Nairobi, with new apartment blocks, shopping centres and family homes. Compact apartment kitchens push appliances against walls, and shared power means a surge reaches many homes at once.

We cover Ruaka, Ndenderu, Banana, Muchatha and Two Rivers. We bring common parts so that most repairs are done in one visit.

Most LG washing machines in Nairobi homes are front loaders with a Direct Drive motor. The motor is attached straight to the drum, with no belt, which makes the machine quiet and removes a part that wears out on older machines.

LG front loaders are also heavy on electronics. A control board decides the wash programme, the water level, the door lock and the spin speed, and many newer models connect to the LG ThinQ app. Power surges and hard water are behind a large share of the faults we see.

Common faults

LG washing machine problems we fix in Ruaka.

  1. 01

    Not draining

    Water left in the drum usually means a blocked drain filter or hose, or a drain pump that has worn out.

  2. 02

    Not spinning

    Often an unbalanced load or a drain fault. On older machines, a worn belt or motor brushes.

  3. 03

    Leaking

    Most leaks come from a torn door seal, a loose hose or a cracked pump housing.

  4. 04

    Won’t start or fill

    A faulty door lock, a closed tap, a blocked inlet filter or a failed inlet valve.

  5. 05

    Shaking and banging

    Worn shock absorbers, a loose counterweight or failing drum bearings.

  6. 06

    Smells bad

    Lint and detergent build up in the pump, seal and drawer. A proper strip-clean fixes it.

Problem guide

What you see, and what we do.

The usual causes and the repair, in plain words.

Loud banging or shaking in the spin

What you notice
The machine walks across the floor.
Usually
Worn shock absorbers, a loose counterweight, a failing bearing or an uneven floor.
What we do
We level the machine, check the dampers and counterweights, and test the bearing.

Dead, or the cycle never starts

What you notice
No lights, or the display lights but nothing happens.
Usually
A power surge that damaged the control board, a faulty water inlet valve or a blocked inlet filter.
What we do
We test the board and the valves and repair or replace the failed part.

Not draining or stuck on a full drum

What you notice
Water stays in the drum and the cycle stops.
Usually
A blocked drain pump filter (coins, hair clips, lint) or a worn drain pump.
What we do
We clear the filter, test the pump and the drain hose, and replace the pump only if it tests bad.

The visit

What the technician does, in order.

  1. We ask what the machine did and when it started, and look at the model label on the door or the back.
  2. We check the drain filter, the hoses and the inlet filters, which fix many faults on the spot.
  3. We test the door lock, the pump, the valves and the motor with a meter.
  4. We run a short cycle to watch it fill, wash, drain and spin before we decide on the part.
  5. You get the cause and the full price before we replace anything, and we test the machine again after the repair.

Every type

LG washing machine types we repair.

Front-load washersThe everyday LG washer, usually 7 to 10 kg, with a Direct Drive motor and steam on some models.
Washer-dryersOne drum that washes and then dries. The drying parts add a heater, a fan and a condenser to look after.
TwinWash and WashTower setsA large washer with a smaller one below, or a washer and dryer stacked in one tower.
Top-load washersA drum that spins under a lid, with a pulsator or a wash plate. Simple and common in many homes.
Semi-automatic twin tubsA wash tub and a spin tub side by side, filled and moved by hand.
Commercial and large-capacity machinesBigger drums for laundries, guest houses and hostels that run many cycles a day.

Care tips

Keep your LG washing machine running.

Simple things you can do at home between repairs.

  • Clean the drain pump filter every two or three months. It is behind a small flap at the bottom front.
  • Leave the door and the soap drawer open after a wash so the drum dries and the gasket does not grow mould.
  • Wipe the door gasket and pull out anything caught in the folds, such as hair clips and coins.
  • Do not overload the drum. A fist of space at the top lets the clothes move and keeps the bearings healthy.
  • Use the right amount of detergent for your water. Too much builds up in the pump and the pipes.

Questions

Before you book.

Anything else? Send it on WhatsApp and a technician answers.

Do you repair LG washing machines in Ruaka?

Yes. A technician comes to your home or business in Ruaka, Kiambu and repairs the LG washing machine where it stands, in most cases in one visit.

How soon can you reach Ruaka?

Often the same day for Ruaka and nearby Ndenderu. Call or WhatsApp early in the day and we give you the earliest time.

Why does my LG washer stop mid-cycle?

Usually a blocked drain, an unbalanced load, a door lock that has lost contact or a water inlet that is not letting enough water in. We check these in that order.

Is an LG washer worth repairing?

Yes, in most cases. Pumps, valves, door locks and bearings cost far less than a new machine. If the drum or the tub has failed on an old machine, we tell you honestly before you decide.

Can you repair an LG washer at home?

Nearly always. We bring the common parts and finish in one visit. If it needs a workshop part, we say so first.

How much does a repair cost?

There is a visit fee for diagnosis and transport, which depends on where you are and is confirmed before we come. Once the technician finds the fault you get the full price for parts and labour, and nothing is done until you say yes.

Can you come today?

Often, yes. We are open 24/7 and offer same-day visits whenever a technician is free near you. We confirm the time on WhatsApp or by phone.

Do you use genuine parts?

Yes. We fit genuine parts or parts made for your exact model, and carry the common ones with us, so many repairs are finished on the first visit.

Is the repair guaranteed?

Yes. We test the appliance with you before we leave, and every repair comes with our warranty.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Nairobi and most of Kiambu: Westlands to Karen, Ruaka to Thika, Syokimau to Rongai. The full list is just above.

Do you repair commercial appliances?

Yes. Commercial laundry, kitchen equipment, cold rooms and freezers, for hotels, restaurants, schools and clinics.
