Certified technicians · Same-day service · 24/7 across Sharjah, with genuine parts and up to 90 days warranty.
Semi automatic washing machines — the twin-tub type with a separate wash tub and spin tub — are dependable, economical and hugely popular across Sharjah homes and accommodation. They are simple machines, but they work hard, and when the wash tub stops turning, the spinner won’t spin, or water won’t drain, laundry quickly piles up. Al Tareeq Home Appliance Repair Services provides fast, affordable semi automatic washing machine repair across Sharjah, with certified technicians who fix every common twin-tub fault — same day, often on the first visit, with genuine parts and a warranty.
From our workshop in Muwaileh Commercial we reach every area quickly, carrying the parts most semi-automatic repairs need. Because these machines are inexpensive to run and to repair, most faults are well worth fixing — and we always keep the price fair and upfront.
Understanding the twin-tub design explains most of its faults. One tub washes, using a pulsator (the finned disc at the bottom) driven by a wash motor and controlled by a wash timer; the other tub spins the clothes dry, driven by a separate spin motor and spin timer. Water drains through a hose controlled by a simple drain selector. Because the wash and spin sides are separate systems, a fault usually affects just one of them — which helps us pinpoint the cause quickly, since a wash-side problem and a spin-side problem point to different parts.
Most semi-automatic complaints are straightforward. The wash tub not turning usually means a faulty wash timer, a worn wash motor or capacitor, or a jammed pulsator. The spinner not spinning points to the spin timer, spin motor or capacitor, or the lid safety switch. Won’t drain is normally a blocked or kinked drain hose or a stuck drain selector. Loud spinning can be an unbalanced load or worn spinner bearings. These are common, well-understood faults, and our technicians carry the timers, capacitors and parts to fix most of them on the spot.
Simple and transparent, from the first call to the final test:
Before you call, a few safe checks can help. Make sure the drain hose is down and not kinked when you want to drain, and up when you want to fill. Check that the load in the spinner is balanced and not overloaded, as an uneven load stops many spinners. Confirm the timers are being turned to the correct setting for wash, drain and spin. If the wash or spin side still will not work after that, the cause is likely a timer, motor or capacitor — which needs a technician, and is usually an affordable fix.
Semi automatic repairs are among the most affordable washing machine jobs, because the machines are simple and the common parts — timers, capacitors, drain hoses, belts — are inexpensive. Costs only rise if a wash or spin motor needs replacing. The brand and part availability also play a small part. We always diagnose first and quote upfront, so you know the price before we start and only pay for what is actually needed. In most cases a twin-tub is quick and cheap to bring back to full working order.
A few habits keep a twin-tub going for years. Do not overload either tub, especially the spinner, as an unbalanced spin causes noise and wear. Position the drain hose correctly for each stage, and keep it free of kinks and blockages. Use the right amount of detergent for hard water, and rinse the tubs occasionally to prevent residue build-up. Move the machine gently, as the timers and motors are the parts that fail most from rough handling. Simple care like this keeps repairs rare and inexpensive.
Every job is quoted upfront after a quick diagnosis. As a guide:
| Service | Cost Guide |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis & inspection | Free with any repair |
| Drain hose / selector fix | On request |
| Wash or spin timer replacement | Quoted before work |
| Capacitor replacement | Quoted before work |
| Wash / spin motor replacement | Quoted after diagnosis |
You always know the price before we begin, and the call-out charge is adjusted against the repair when you proceed — so you only pay for approved work.

My spinner won’t spin — can you fix it?
Yes. That’s usually the spin timer, spin motor or capacitor, or the lid safety switch. All are common, affordable repairs on a twin-tub.
The wash tub isn’t turning — what’s wrong?
Typically the wash timer, wash motor or capacitor, or a jammed pulsator. We test to find which and replace the part.
Won’t drain — is that serious?
Usually not — it’s often a kinked or blocked drain hose or a stuck drain selector, which is quick to fix.
Are semi automatic machines worth repairing?
Almost always — the parts are inexpensive and repairs are quick, so a twin-tub is very economical to keep running.
Can you fix it the same day?
Yes, in most cases, often within the hour, with common timers and capacitors carried for a first-visit fix.
Do you repair machines in staff accommodation?
Yes — twin-tubs are common in accommodation, and we can repair several in one visit at a fair price.
Which brands do you repair?
All the major ones — Super General, Nikai, Daewoo, Samsung, LG and more — using genuine or OEM-grade parts.
Do you cover nights and weekends?
Yes. Our 24/7 service runs across Sharjah every day of the year.
Only the spinner has stopped — is that an easy fix?
Usually yes. On a twin-tub the wash and spin sides are separate, so a spinner fault is normally the spin timer, motor or capacitor — a quick, affordable repair that doesn’t affect the wash side.
Can you replace just the timer?
Yes — the wash and spin timers are common, inexpensive parts, and replacing a faulty one often brings the machine straight back to life.
Do you repair older or budget twin-tub brands?
Yes — Super General, Nikai, Daewoo and similar are exactly the machines we repair every day, with parts readily available.
Water isn’t draining from the wash tub — what is it?
Nearly always a kinked or blocked drain hose or a stuck drain selector — a quick, inexpensive fix on a twin-tub, which we clear and test during the visit.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes — up to 90 days written warranty on parts and labour, with a return visit if a covered fault comes back.
