Fast, professional washing machine repairs for Blouberg homes and businesses, backed by a 6 month workmanship warranty.
Tell us what's happening, and we'll call you back to confirm a technician near you.
Blouberg is a coastal suburb famous for its beachfront view of Table Mountain, with homes ranging from beachfront apartments to family houses further inland. When a washing machine stops draining, won't spin, or starts leaking water onto the floor, most households want it sorted quickly rather than working around a broken appliance for days. AE Refrigeration provides professional washing machine repairs in Blouberg, covering everywhere from the Blouberg beachfront to Sunset Beach.
We repair most washing machine brands found in Blouberg homes, including LG, Defy, Hisense, Siemens and Smeg. Our technicians come out to inspect the appliance on-site, explain what's actually wrong, and give you an upfront quote before any work begins.
If your washing machine is leaving clothes soaking wet, won't drain, is leaking onto the floor, or is banging around during the spin cycle, don't wait for it to get worse. We'll check the appliance, identify the fault and, where possible, get your washing machine working again during the same visit.
We work throughout Blouberg, from the busy residential areas around Bloubergstrand and Big Bay to the quieter streets further inland. If you're in an apartment overlooking the coast, a family home or a holiday property, we can come out and inspect the washing machine where it is.
We regularly deal with washing machines that aren't draining or spinning properly, leaking water, or making unusual noises during the wash or spin cycle. Rather than trying to diagnose everything over the phone, we'll inspect the appliance and work out what is actually causing the problem.
Our service also reaches the nearby West Coast areas, including Table View, West Beach and Parklands.
Not every washing machine problem is obvious. Sometimes the machine won't even switch on. Other times it's more subtle: the drum fills and agitates fine but the clothes come out still soaking wet, there's a puddle forming under the machine after every wash, or you've started hearing a bang or scrape partway through the spin cycle.
A machine that drains slowly or not at all can point to a blocked filter, a failing drain pump or a kinked hose, while a drum that won't spin properly often comes down to a worn belt, a tired motor or a control board that isn't sending the right signal. Because several of these faults show similar symptoms, we don't like guessing at a cause over the phone. A technician needs to actually open up the machine and check the pump, belt, bearings and control board on-site before recommending what to fix, so you're not paying for parts you didn't need.
These are the washing machine problems our Blouberg customers call us about most often.
Blocked filters, faulty drain pumps or kinked hoses commonly prevent proper draining.
If the drum won't spin or clothes come out soaking wet, the cause is often worn belts, faulty motors or damaged bearings.
Often linked to door lock faults, control board issues or power supply problems.
Usually caused by damaged door seals, hoses or a cracked detergent drawer housing.
Grinding or rumbling during the spin cycle usually points to worn drum bearings or an unbalanced load.
Can be caused by a control board fault, an overheating motor or a door lock that loses contact.
This is one of the most common calls we get, and there isn't a single answer. A washing machine that won't drain, or spins weakly, can come down to any one of several parts, and a few of them produce very similar symptoms.
The drain pump is often the first thing people suspect, and a blocked or failed pump will certainly stop a machine draining. But we also see plenty of cases where the pump is fine and the real issue is a blocked filter clogged with coins, buttons and fluff, a kinked or crushed drain hose, a worn drive belt slipping on the motor pulley, a door lock that isn't confirming closed, or a control board that isn't sending the spin command through. Unbalanced loads and worn drum bearings can also stop a spin cycle from completing properly.
Because several of these issues look almost identical from the outside, we don't like guessing at a cause over the phone or replacing parts on a hunch. A technician needs to actually test the pump, filter, belt, door lock and control board on-site before recommending what to fix, so you're not paying for parts you didn't need.

Approved repairs are carried out using quality parts, backed by our 6 month warranty.
Blouberg homes run all types of washing machines, from a compact top-loader in a flat to a full-size front-loader in a busy family household, and the way each type is built changes how it's diagnosed and repaired.
We regularly work on:
A front-loader relies on a different drum bearing and door-seal arrangement to a top-loader, so a fault that causes one machine to leak isn't necessarily what's wrong with the other. Our technicians identify the type of machine first, rather than assuming every washing machine problem has the same fix.
Most repairs booked and diagnosed within 24–48 hours, with priority commercial callouts.
All repairs are backed by a workmanship warranty for genuine peace of mind.
Experienced, background-checked technicians trained across all major appliance brands.
No hidden costs, you approve the quote before any work begins.
This is another question that doesn't have a single answer, and we'd rather be upfront about that than quote a number that doesn't hold up once a technician has actually looked at the machine. Repair costs depend on the diagnosis itself, the type of machine, the specific fault, and which parts are needed to fix it.
A worn door seal or a blocked filter is generally a small, affordable repair. A motor, drum bearing or control board replacement involves more parts and labour, and costs more accordingly. The type of machine also plays a part, since a front-loader generally has more components than a basic top-loader.
That's why we diagnose the fault first and give you a clear, upfront quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why, with no surprises added on afterwards.
Our technicians are ready to diagnose and repair your appliance. Call now or request a callback.
Blocked filters, a faulty drain pump or a kinked or blocked hose are the most common causes. A technician can check each of these on-site.
This is often caused by worn drive belts, a failing motor, damaged bearings or an unbalanced load sensor.
In most cases, yes. Our technicians carry common parts and tools and can usually diagnose and repair your machine on the same visit.
Loud grinding or banging noises are typically caused by worn drum bearings, a loose drum spider or an unbalanced load.
Yes, along with LG, Whirlpool, Hisense, Speed Queen and most other major washing machine brands.
It depends on the fault and the age of the machine. Minor issues like a worn seal or blocked filter are usually worth fixing, while a machine with repeated faults or a major motor or drum problem may not be. We'll give you our honest opinion after inspecting it.
