Average lifespan of a Candy washing machine

There are many budget models in Kandy's line of washing machines. At the same time, the set of programs for washing machines is varied. Buyers often prefer equipment from this brand precisely because of its attractive price and functionality.

What is the service life of Candy washing machines? Can equipment from an Italian brand be considered reliable? Are these washing machines repairable? Or is it better to overpay, but buy a machine from a different brand? Let's look into the nuances.

How long will the Kandy machine last?

There are plenty of reviews about Kandy washing machines. Some users claim that the average service life of the machine is 2-3 years. Others claim the high reliability of the equipment, saying that the old Candy has been in their family for more than 10 years, and they still cope well with their functions.

SMA repair specialists note both the pros and cons of equipment from this brand. According to service center specialists, on average, washing machines Candy work without requiring repairs for 3-5 years. Of course, there are manufacturing defects and some isolated malfunctions, but this is the approximate period.

Experts talk about the low repairability of the Kandy SMA - in 40% of cases, the first failure of the washing machine becomes permanent.

The advantages are the low cost of spare parts and their availability. For example, it will not be difficult to order bearings, heating elements, cuffs and other components for Candy washing machines. However, there is no point in eliminating some breakdowns; it will be easier to dispose of the unit.

For example, repair is impractical when it is necessary to change the tank-drum assembly.The cost of spare parts and labor will be such that you can buy a new machine. It is easier to throw away washing machines with such a malfunction than to repair them.

Candy washing machines have another weak point - electronics. It is very sensitive to voltage changes in the network. Replacing the control board is also not cheap.

Low quality plastic is used in the production of budget Candy models. This promotes the formation of leaks. The unstable body completes the picture. Kandy washing machines are lightweight, which is why they make noise and vibrate during operation.

Thus, when choosing budget Candy models, you should not expect any superpowers from the washer. How many years the machine will work depends on the user (on compliance with operating rules). But on average it is 4-5 years. It is likely that the SMA will last twice as long, but it is possible that even after 3 years its electronics will fail and the module will not be repairable.
