Understanding Defy washing machine faults
A quick look at what's usually behind the two most common call-outs, so you know what to expect.
Defy Washing Machine Not Draining
A Defy washing machine that won't drain is most often caused by a blocked drain pump or pump filter, a kinked or blocked drain hose, a faulty drain pump motor, or a blocked pressure switch hose. We check the filter and pump first since that's the most common culprit, then work through the drainage system if the fault persists.
Defy Washing Machine Not Spinning
This can point to a worn drive belt, a failing motor or motor control board, a faulty door lock (many machines won't spin unless the door lock signals it's secure), or a tripped safety switch from an unbalanced load. Our technicians check the load balance, door lock and drive components in sequence to find the actual cause.
