Great advice & customer service on the supply of our recent integrated fridge/freezer from Capital Repairs.Our old Neff integrated fridge freezer was ‘packing up’ after 15+yrs hard duty and we were under pressure to get a new one supplied and fitted quickly. They supplied and fitted the new appliance and removed the old one In less than 48hrs ! fantastic! Big thanks to the young fitter Zack he was very diligent and skilled on what was tricky integrated appliance install

Jason repaired my washing machine. Was quick, effective, thorough and definitely knew what he was doing - very helpful and considerate

I am very pleased with the. Work and advice of the engineer Jason who came today to repair my Liebherr fridge freezer. He said that there was no need to replace any part and resolved the problem

If we could give the engineer Dan 10 stars we would! Such a quick, reliable service he provided and fixed the issue with our American Fridge/Freezer so quickly. Amazing customer service! Your company should feel lucky to have him representing you.

Having had excellent and quick service from Capital who sent engineers to sort out problems with my dishwasher and tumble dryer, I decided to buy a replacement dishwasher from them too. I was able to speak to real person! Who told me what they had available, I selected and bought it and was offered delivery two days later. Kept up-to-date on the timing of the delivery and the two men who came, fitted took away the old machine couldn't have been more helpful. I thoroughly recommend this company for swift and excellent service

Dan Lewis is a brilliant engineer. A REAL engineer and just not a techie.He sorted the awful noise from my Sharp Fridge freezer which I bought from AO.com.Dan’s knowledge base is considerable and he is extremely personable and humble. Will always want him to repair my ‘white’ goods. Most grateful as he has reduced the overall noise level of the fridge freezer.

Very good follow up be email to organize the appointment; engineer came on time and repair was very quick; the only thing which could have been improved was to mention somewhere that ETA means Estimated time of arrival....it usually has another common meaning.

From the outset Rebecka was very helpful, we had several appliances to fix so it was complicated to set up. All the pricing was very clear and once booked I was kept up to date and the engineer arrived on time. Jason the engineer was able to fix most things onsite and identified the fault one the other appliance quickly. The follow up with Rebecka has been very efficient.Highly Recommended.

Whirlpool Washing Machines occupy the higher end of the market with this American-made brand, which is known for its innovation and quality. The latest Whirlpool washing machine ranges incorporate “Zen Technology”, which means they are designed to run extremely quietly with minimal vibrations.

Like all washing machines, though, Whirlpools don’t wash and spin forever without needing some replacement parts and suffering the odd fault.

Fortunately, Capital Repairs is on hand to get your laundry back on track if you experience problems with your Whirlpool Washing Machine. You will be able to get an idea of what the trouble is by watching out for the error code which will be displayed on your Whirlpool washer if something goes wrong. It’s helpful if you can tell the repair technician which code you have seen on your machine, to help narrow down possible causes for the issue.

Error codes (also known as fault codes) on washing machines are only a guide. They don’t tell you exactly what part needs replacing or what component has failed, but they do help in troubleshooting and diagnosing problems so that we can fix your Whirlpool Washing Machine quickly and easily.

Here is a list of error codes you will see digitally displayed on Whirlpool front-load washing machines if they develop a malfunction or fault:

F01

This is shown when the machine won’t operate and/or some or all functions can’t be selected. It indicates an electronic circuit board fault which requires a professional engineer to fix.

F02

This is probably caused by a motor circuit fault, which means there will be intermittent or no drum rotation during the wash cycle.

F03

You’ll see this error code when the Whirlpool washing machine fails to heat on wash or dry settings. The problem is no doubt a temperature sensor fault.

F05

A particularly perplexing problem, you’ll see this fault code when machine fails to drain out the water, which means the door probably will not open. This could be caused by a blockage in the waste water hose or pump filter. Worst case scenario is that the machine’s pump has failed and will need to be replaced.

F06

A drive motor tachometer error. This will cause the machine to shut down, and could be caused by a loose connection or might need the replacement of the control board.

F07

When the machine stops mid-cycle and does not progress, with the machine failing to heat and the pump running continuously, you probably have an electronic circuit board fault, or a malfunction or broken connection in the heating circuit.

F08

This code indicates a heater fault, which will cause the wash programme to stop mid-cycle.

F09

When you see this fault code you’ll be unable to select any programme and get the machine running. There will most likely be a software fault to blame.

F11

Means a pump circuit fault, which will leave the machine unable to pump out water from the drum.

F12

If you see this when your machine refuses to turn on you’ll need to have a professional diagnose which electronic fault is responsible for the failure.

F13

This code applies to Whirlpool washer-dryers, and indicates a dryer temperature sensing fault.

F15

This fault code can appear on either washing machines or washer-dryers when the water doesn’t heat during a wash cycle, or a drying cycle. There is a malfunction of the heater control unit.

Whatever code you notice on your Whirlpool washer, it is best not to ignore it even if it goes away after unplugging and restarting your machine. Fault codes are signs of trouble brewing, and scheduling a check and service of your washing machine could save a whole lot of time, expense and trouble later on if the problem escalates.
