What changes a Candy repair bill
- Brand tier — Haier-owned budget brand; low-cost spares shared with the Hoover range and broad generic availability place it at the bottom of the parts-price ladder
- Parts vs labour — the brand and tier shift the parts price; labour tracks your area's wage index, not the brand.
- The specific fault — a sensor, seal, or valve is far cheaper than a compressor, motor, or control board.
- DIY vs professional — Some Candy faults (filters, seals, hoses) are DIY-feasible for confident owners; sealed-system and control-board work is a professional job.

Washing machines commonly develop inconsistent or failing spin cycles, drainage problems, and door-seal/drain-plug leaks. Dishwashers frequently throw E1/E2 fill-related error codes tied to inlet-valve faults, and there are recurring reports of overheating plugs and wiring.
Is Candy expensive to repair?
Budget-to-mid Italian brand, part of Haier since 2018; built to a price point, with premature component failures (within months to a couple of years) commonly reported, placing it toward the lower end of mainstream reliability. Available through Candy's UK/EU service network, but customers frequently report multi-week to multi-month waits for specific parts due to stock shortages, plus criticized customer-service responsiveness.
