Overview
One Click Dubai looks after Siemens washing machines in homes across Dubai, with a technician at your door the same day and bookings open round the clock. Siemens washing machine repair covers the iQ300, iQ500 and iQ700 ranges, built-in models and Siemens washer dryers.
Siemens owners call us most often about a door that will not unlock. After that come a drum that will not rotate, a weak or missing spin, and the E18 drain fault. This page takes them in that order, then covers leaks, the iQ ranges, parts, cost and care.
We fit genuine Siemens parts, ordered by the E-Nr on the rating plate.
Siemens washing machine repair in Dubai: what we fix and what it costs
For Siemens washing machine repair in Dubai, the first step is a diagnostic visit at AED 100 plus VAT. You then receive a fixed price for the repair. Siemens parts are at the upper end of Dubai market prices: AED 150 to AED 750 for a door lock, AED 200 to AED 400 for a drain pump, and AED 400 to AED 800 for an electronic module.
The rating plate is inside the door frame or behind the service flap. Send a photo of it. The E-Nr and FD number identify the lock, pump and module your machine needs.
Siemens washing machine door locked: unlocking an iQ300, iQ500 or iQ700
A Siemens washing machine door is held by an electronic lock that releases only when the programme has ended, the drum has stopped and no water is detected. On an iQ300, iQ500 or iQ700 the steps to unlock it are the same, and they work in most cases without tools.
The display shows End, or the Start light stops flashing. If the programme stopped part-way, select Drain or Spin and let it finish.
If you can see water, the lock is doing its job. Drain the drum through the service flap, as described in the E18 section. Let hot water cool first.
A key symbol means the lock is on. Hold the button marked with the key, or the two buttons joined by a key line, for about five seconds.
The lock contains a heated element that takes a minute or two to cool and release after the programme ends.
Switch the machine off at the socket for five to ten minutes, then switch on. Listen for the click of the lock.
If the door is still locked after all five, the lock has failed closed or the electronics are not releasing it. Use the emergency release below, or book a visit.
By range
The emergency door release, and when to use it
Siemens front loaders have a mechanical emergency release behind the service flap at the bottom front. It opens the door when there is no power, or when the electronic lock has failed. Use it only with the machine unplugged and the drum drained.
And close the tap.
It unclips at the bottom right of the front panel. A coin or a flat tool helps.
Release the small drain hose, remove its cap and let the water out. Do not skip this: opening the door on a full drum floods the floor.
It is a tab or loop, often coloured, beside the pump cover.
With a tool if it is stiff. The door releases with a click.
Then leave the machine off until the cause is found.
When not to use it
Door not locking, and door lock replacement
A Siemens washing machine door not locking stops the programme before it begins. The Start light flashes, the door symbol stays on, or an E16 or E34 code shows. The causes, in order of likelihood, are something in the way, a worn latch, and a failed lock.
A door lock replacement takes under an hour. The lock sits behind the front panel beside the door opening, and is reached by releasing the door seal's outer clamp. We carry genuine locks for the common iQ300 and iQ500 models, which answers the usual question about Siemens washing machine door lock price: the lock is one of the less expensive Siemens parts.
Our door locked guide covers other makes.
Siemens washing machine service center in Dubai: how to book and what a visit includes
If you are looking for a Siemens washing machine service centre, repair centre or call centre in Dubai, you can book our Siemens service by phone, WhatsApp or the online form at any hour. The service is a home visit by a technician who works on Siemens machines and carries Siemens parts.
Call or message +971 55 209 9785 with the E-Nr, the fault and your area.
The same day in most cases.
The technician runs the Siemens test programme, reads the stored faults, and tests the lock, pump, motor and sensors.
For the genuine part and labour, before work starts.
With a one-month warranty on parts and labour.
A Siemens washing machine service for a machine that still works covers the pump, door seal, drawer, inlet filter, shock absorbers and a hot maintenance programme.
Siemens washing machine drum not rotating
A Siemens washing machine drum not rotating, with the machine filling and draining normally, has lost its drive. On older and entry models that means the belt or the motor's carbon brushes. On iQdrive models it means the motor's electronics. A drum that cannot be turned by hand is jammed or has a seized bearing.
iQdrive
Siemens iQdrive is a brushless motor. It has no brushes to replace, and it rarely fails mechanically. When an iQdrive machine's drum stops, the fault is usually in the inverter electronics that drive it, or in the wiring between the two.
If the motor hums and the drum does not move, switch off. A stalled motor overheats quickly.
Not spinning, or not spinning properly
A Siemens washing machine not spinning properly is usually protecting itself from an unbalanced load. The unbalance control tries several times to spread the laundry, and if it cannot, it spins slowly or not at all and ends the programme with wet clothes.
A Siemens iQ300 not spinning after a move often has a drain hose kinked behind it. Check that before anything else.
Noise when spinning
A Siemens washing machine making noise when spinning has one of four causes, and the sound separates them.
Whether the bearings can be replaced separately depends on the tub fitted to your model. We check the E-Nr and tell you before quoting.
Siemens E18: not draining
E18 on a Siemens washing machine means the water is not draining away. Siemens gives two causes: a blocked drain pump, or a kinked or blocked drain hose. F18 on older models is the same fault. Siemens publishes a full procedure, and it ends with a test worth knowing.
Close the tap, switch off and unplug. Let hot water cool.
Open the service flap, take the small drain hose from its holder, remove the cap and let the water run into a container.
Unscrew the pump cover slowly. Remove lint, hair, coins and small objects from the cover and the housing.
It must be able to rotate.
Firmly, with its grip vertical. Close the flap.
Pour one litre of water into detergent compartment II, start the Drain or Empty programme, and check for leaks. A working pump moves that litre out at once.
Straighten any kink. If needed, put a bucket under the siphon, loosen the clip, remove the hose and clean it and its connector.
If E18 still shows after that, the pump has failed or is not being powered. That is a pump replacement, which we carry out with the genuine part.
Siemens fault codes and display symbols
Siemens washing machines show faults as an E code, an F code on older models, or a symbol. Siemens and Bosch machines are built by the same group and share one code family, so the list below applies to both. Newer displays show two-part codes such as E:36 -10.
On an iQ300 with lights and no display, the fault is shown by which programme lights flash together. Photograph the panel and send it to us, and we will read the pattern for your model.
Restart once. A code that returns after one restart is a fault, and repeated resets only hide the pattern.
Not starting, and the Start button
A Siemens washing machine not starting, with the display on, is nearly always held by the door lock or a setting. A Start button that does not respond at all is a worn switch or a control panel fault.
Leaking from the bottom
A Siemens washing machine leaking from the bottom has usually been stopped by its own leak protection before much water escapes. Machines with aquaStop have a float in the base tray that shuts the water and shows E23 when it senses a leak.
With E23, close the tap, switch off and book a visit. The leak has to be found and the base tray dried before the machine will run again.
iQ300, iQ500 and iQ700: what the range means at repair
Siemens groups its washing machines into three ranges. The range tells you which features, and therefore which parts, the machine is likely to have.
Feature faults
Quote the E-Nr when you book, not only the range. Two iQ500 machines from different years can use different pumps and locks.
Siemens washer dryers
A Siemens washer dryer washes and dries in one drum, so it can have every fault on this page and adds a heater, a fan and a condenser for drying. It also uses cold water during the drying phase to condense the steam, which surprises owners who see the tap in use while nothing is being washed.
Dry about half of what you wash. A washer dryer's drying capacity is smaller than its washing capacity, and an overfilled drum dries badly and creases. See washer dryer repair.
Siemens parts we fit, and what they cost
We fit genuine Siemens parts. The prices are 2026 market ranges published by companies in Dubai, before VAT. Siemens parts usually fall in the upper half.
Siemens and Bosch washing machines share many internal parts, so stock held for one often serves the other.
Siemens washing machine repair cost
Siemens washing machine repair cost in Dubai is typically AED 200 to AED 500 for a lock, pump, valve, brushes or seal, and AED 400 to AED 1,000 for a module, bearings or a motor. Our diagnostic visit is AED 100 plus VAT.
Siemens machines hold their value, so a repair under half the price of a comparable new one is usually worth doing.
Siemens washing machine installation
We install Siemens washing machines, freestanding and built-in.
At the back, usually four, with their sleeves. Fit the caps and keep the bolts.
Tighten each lock nut against the cabinet.
By hand, to a cold tap. Do not kink, cut or submerge the valve end.
At the height in the manual.
Wall socket, then an empty hot programme.
For a built-in machine, the furniture door is hung on the machine and adjusted, and the plinth is cut so the service flap can still be opened.
Looking after a Siemens washer
A Siemens washing machine needs little care, and the little it needs prevents the two faults we see most: E18 and seal leaks.
