About Appliance Faults

I built this site because every time a washing machine throws a cryptic error code, the Google results are a mix of forum posts, scraped listicles, and AI-generated nonsense. You deserve a repair guide that is accurate, safety-first, and free.

How every guide is written

  1. Step 1

    Source

    Start with the official manufacturer service manual PDF for the exact model range — Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Voltas all publish these.

  2. Step 2

    Verify

    Cross-reference with Reddit r/appliancerepair threads, ServiceManualsOnline, verified Amazon reviews on the specific device, and Indian appliance-repair YouTube channels.

  3. Step 3

    Structure

    Break into numbered steps ordered by likelihood of success. Simplest fix first — usually something trivial like a clogged filter or a loose hose.

  4. Step 4

    Safety-gate

    Every step involving electricity or water gets a red warning box before the instruction. No step is ever added without considering: what's the worst outcome if someone skips this?

What we don’t do

  • We do not scrape service manuals verbatim. Every step is rewritten in plain English.
  • We are not authorised technicians. If a step involves the mains supply or gas line, we say “call a pro”.
  • We do not take payment from brands, repair chains, or appliance manufacturers.
  • We do not publish guides we’re unsure about. If it’s not verified against at least two sources, it doesn’t ship.

How this site stays free

When you click a tool link on a repair guide and buy it from Amazon.in, I earn a small commission. You pay the same price. I also run one AdSense unit per guide page — clearly labelled, never in the middle of a critical step. That’s the entire business model. No premium, no newsletter paywall, no “unlock advanced guides for ₹99”.
