Commercial Laundromat Washing Machine Repairs in Armidale

2nd June 2026

John Crawford Appliance Repairs recently attended a commercial laundromat in Armidale after two commercial washing machines were reported out of service. Equipment downtime can have a significant impact on laundromat operations, making prompt diagnosis and repair essential to minimise disruption for customers and business owners.

During the inspection, both machines were thoroughly assessed to identify the cause of the faults. One of the key issues discovered was a tension pulley that had become stuck in the open position. This mechanical fault had caused the drive belt to disengage, preventing the machine from operating correctly.

After carrying out the necessary mechanical adjustments, the tension pulley was restored to proper operation and the drive belt was correctly refitted. Both machines also received lubrication of critical moving components to improve performance and reduce unnecessary wear.

As part of the maintenance process, belt dressing was applied to the pulley belts. This helps reduce operating noise, improves belt grip, and can contribute to a longer service life for the drive system components.

Following repairs and servicing, both commercial washing machines were successfully returned to operation, allowing the laundromat to resume normal service with minimal downtime.
