Replace or repair your white goods?

It’s been interesting to see what customers are asking for over the years I have run Find Me A Tradesperson. White goods repairs which technically include washing machines, tumble dryers, ovens, dishwashers and fridges are on the increase. With more customers seeking a solution to their rattling machines or fridge freezer no longer working the way it should be.  Where’s beforehand they wouldn’t think twice about rushing of to John Lewis or Comet and getting a replacement pronto,  I should know I have done it myself!

Obviously the recession has played a major part in people thinking twice about filing up our landfills with unwanted items which is not been a bad thing. Many white goods can be fixed for a cost effective price.

Finding engineers is not always easy and I have struggled over the years to get tradespeople who do this – it’s nearly as bad trying to find decent chimney sweeps and window cleaners too!

Here’s just a list of some of the calls and emails we receive over the years

• Water related: leaks, filling or emptying and heating problems
• Programme faults
• Washing problems
• Washing machine functioning faults
• Oven Elements
• Thermostats
• Fan motors
• Clocks
• Door hinges
• Hot rings

and they are to name a few, if this sounds familiar and you are experiencing any problems like above instead of heading to your nearest shop, do try and see if its fixable it might just save you some cash and upheaval – please call us if you would like to talk about any of your white goods repairs or visit our recommended engineers page.
