Simpson repairs across Wollongong & the Illawarra
Simpson has been the workhorse of the Australian laundry for generations, and their top-load washers are still a familiar sight in homes right across Wollongong and the Illawarra. We repair Simpson top and front loaders, along with their vented dryers, using parts matched to your exact model. These machines are built to be serviced, so the usual belt, clutch, lid-switch and pump faults are practical fixes rather than write-offs. We'll get an old Simpson running properly again instead of talking you into a new machine you don't need.

Common Simpson faults we see
- Won't spin or drum turns slowly — Simpson top-loaders commonly lose spin through a worn drive belt or a failing clutch, so clothes come out soaking wet. We check the belt, clutch and transmission together to fix the real cause, not just the symptom.
- Lid-switch faults stopping the cycle — The lid switch tells the machine the lid is shut, and when it fails the washer won't spin or advance through the cycle. It's a well-known Simpson fault and usually a straightforward replacement.
- Won't drain or pump noise — A blocked or worn drain pump leaves water sitting in the bowl at the end of the cycle. We clear obstructions and replace the pump where needed, often in the same visit.
- Won't fill or slow to fill — Faulty inlet valves or a blocked inlet filter cause slow filling or no water at all. We test the valves and clean the screens so the machine fills at the right rate.
- Bearing and tub wear causing noise or leaks — On higher-mileage Simpson washers worn tub bearings cause loud grinding on spin and can lead to leaks. We assess whether a bearing repair is economical against the age of the machine and tell you honestly.
Frequently asked questions
My Simpson top-loader washes but won't spin, what's wrong?

Yes, we service Simpson vented dryers, including no-heat, overheating and element faults, matched to your model number.
