A tenement house in the centre, built-in kitchens in Ruczaj

In the tenement houses of the centre and Kazimierz the washing machine shares the bathroom with the bath, and the drain hose is often plugged into an old trap. When water stays in the drum, the pump may be to blame, but so may a clogged drain in the wall. So say in the order whether the basin next to it drains slowly too. The pro will tell a machine fault from a drainage problem straight away and won't offer you a part you don't need.

In Ruczaj and Bronowice the machines are newer but sit built in under the worktop. To replace the pump or shock absorbers, the machine has to be pulled out, sometimes with the plinth removed and the cabinet front taken off. Mention it in the description. Owners of flats let to students and tourists have one more problem: the tenant reports "the washing machine doesn't work" and nothing else. Ask them for a photo of the display with the error code before you post the order.

Questions about washing machine repair in Kraków

The washing machine is in a rented-out flat in Kraków. Who should post the order?

Who pays is between the tenant and the owner. Either of you can post the order, as long as the pro can get into the flat at the agreed time. The pro issues the invoice to the person or company you name.

How does the pro know which part to bring?

From the rating plate. It's usually on the rim behind the door or on the back of the casing. Take a photo of it together with the error code on the display. Based on that, the pro will say in the offer which part they're looking for and what it costs.

How much will a washing machine repair cost in Kraków?

The price ranges on the site are calculated for Warsaw, so in Kraków use them as a reference point. The pro gives the amount and the cost of parts in their offer, and either includes travel or adds it as a separate item.

Water drains slowly from both the washing machine and the basin. Is it the pump?

Probably not. If the basin is slow too, the problem is in the drain, not the machine. Say so in the order: unblocking pipes needs a plumber, the pump needs an appliance repair pro.
