Rs 300 - 500 (general service)Frequently Asked Questions
What's the single most important maintenance task?
Cleaning the drain filter regularly — it's the most common cause of poor draining and bad smells that we see in Samastipur homes.
Does maintenance really prevent repairs?
Yes — a well-maintained machine runs more efficiently and catches early wear (like a slipping belt) before it turns into a bigger failure.
Is maintenance different for semi-automatic vs fully automatic machines?
The core principles are similar, though fully automatic machines benefit more from periodic professional PCB and sensor checks given their added electronics.
How often should older machines be serviced?
Machines over 7-8 years old benefit from a check every 6-9 months rather than annually, similar to our recommendation for refrigerators.
