What tends to fail here
Bernalillo's housing mix spans older village properties and newer developments on the edges of town, so the machines vary. Drainage faults, spin failures and leaks account for the bulk of calls, as they do across the region.
Coded faults on newer machines are increasingly common, and they are worth reporting exactly rather than paraphrasing.
- Standing water in the drum at the end of a cycle.
- Loads coming out soaking wet after an apparently normal programme.
- Water on the laundry floor during fill or drain.
- New grinding or squealing noises during spin.
- Machines that light up but never begin the cycle.
