We, as Machine Answered, are a team of expert appliance service technicians who are always eager to share the knowledge we have to help others solve issues with their home appliances. We strive to help appliance owners fix their appliances themselves and avoid paying someone.
Currently, our team is made up of the following:

Hellen Wanjiku (Contributing Writer and Editor)
Hellen is an experienced writer and editor who regularly writes for the blog. As the only lady on the team, Hellen grew up seeing her dad fix just about anything in the house.
From fridges and ACs to dishwashers and washing machines, Hellen observed her father repair them closely, and that’s how her passion for home appliance DIY grew.
Having been in the content writing and editing space for over 10 years, combined with her wealth of experience as a DIY enthusiast, Hellen brings a wealth of information to the team.
She mainly handles refrigerators, dishwashers, washers, dryers, and other appliances from time to time. Her strongest qualities are creating how-to guides, where she explains how to identify a fault in a home appliance and what to do to fix it.
Hellen is constantly researching emerging trends in the DIY space, and whenever she finds something that could make it easy for readers to troubleshoot their home appliance, she is always the first to share it on the blog.
Her drive is to motivate everyone, especially ladies, to try and troubleshoot their home appliance DIY and not to have to depend on expert technicians when not necessary.
