4. Pump Problems: Faulty Drain Pump or Clogged Pump.

5. Drum or Tub Damage: Broken tub or damaged drum.

Steps to take when diagnosing the machine:

Is it worth repairing a washer or dryer if it’s an older model?

Well, if your appliance is over ten years old and the cost to repair is more than half the price of buying a new one, then it is probably a better option to just replace it.
If the issue is a simple one, it is a good brand and the cost is reasonable, it is probably wise to repair it as the old machines are much simpler, cost less to repair and do honestly last a lot longer than the new ones because they do not have all the electronics the new machines have these days.
