Fault in Malayalam
Defects and shortcomings in a thing are covered by അറ്റകുറ്റം (attakuttam), common in talk about repairs and inspections. Everyday speech often shortens the idea to കേട് (ked), damage or something gone wrong. A fault in the sense of blame or offence is അപരാധം (aparadham).
Most common translation

വീടിന്റെ അറ്റകുറ്റം അച്ഛൻ ശരിയാക്കി.
