Water left in the drum or clothes left wet?
Say whether water remains in the drum or the clothes are wet without standing water. For wet clothes, include the final spin and settings used. Describe the last normal cycle. Do not start extra cycles after a leak, burning smell or electrical trip.
A locked door needs a safe next step
Report what the display shows: a running programme, an end indication or an error. Say whether water remains. Leave the handle unforced and do not open a filter that may contain hot water. Door-release instructions depend on the exact model. Use its manual or ask for advice before trying to retrieve the laundry.
Identify a washer without pulling it out
Use the model on purchase paperwork or a safely visible label. A photo of the controls can help if the model is unknown. Say if the same machine also dries and only drying has failed. For an integrated washer, describe the furniture door and space around it. Leave the machine and kitchen panels in place.
Guildford repair visits and the decision to proceed
We accept enquiries from Burpham, Merrow and Shalford. Give the full property address; GU1, GU2, GU3 or GU4 alone is not enough. The office agrees the charge and access before a visit. The assessed fault, appliance condition and suitable spare parts determine the repair options. You can ask for help before deciding whether to replace the washer.
Prepare the model and fault details
Have the model number ready, and tell us if the machine is integrated or stacked. Leave safe access to the front and water connection.
Include the brand and complete model reference, with any product or service number shown. Our model-number guide explains where accessible labels may be found.
Use an accessible label or appliance paperwork. Leave fitted units, heavy appliances and electrical covers in place. If you cannot reach the label safely, tell the office. Include any displayed message exactly as shown and describe what happened before the fault, without running repeated tests.
Access to the appliance at your address
Give the house or flat number, full postcode and the best contact for the visit. Mention stairs, lift or concierge arrangements, controlled parking and any restrictions on reaching the appliance. Tell us whether it is fitted behind a kitchen door, stacked or in a narrow cupboard.
For a tenant's domestic appliance, identify who can authorise the work and who will provide access. The office checks these arrangements before agreeing an appointment.

If you are considering a replacement
Send the old and proposed new model references, the fitting type and details of existing connections. Cabinet changes, electrical or plumbing alterations and removal or disposal need a separately agreed scope.

Washing machine repair questions
Can I enquire without knowing the brand?
Yes. Describe the controls, fitting and fault. Provide a label photograph only if it is safely accessible. Use the general repair request if you cannot identify the make or model yet.
Does a machine that will not drain always need a new pump?
No. The symptom alone does not identify the failed part. Include any display message and whether water remains; the assessment determines whether a restriction, component or another issue needs attention.
What should a landlord include for a Guildford washer repair?
Provide the appliance address, tenant's visit contact and the person who can authorise charges. If a previous repair or installation preceded the problem, describe that history without sending unrelated personal documents.
Charges, scope and confirming a visit
We review the model, address and work required, explain applicable charges and confirm availability before agreeing a visit. Sending an enquiry does not take payment, reserve an appointment or guarantee a completed repair. Parts availability and the appliance's condition affect the options; further parts or work are discussed before you decide.
UKCDA is an independent repair business. Brand names identify appliances and do not imply manufacturer approval. If a manufacturer guarantee or service plan may cover the appliance, check its arrangements before requesting a chargeable visit.
