Washing Machine Maintenance Tips
Most washing machine breakdowns are caused by build-up, overloading or neglect, not by sudden failure. These simple habits keep your machine running well and reduce repair bills.
Do not overload
Overloading strains the motor, bearings and suspension. Follow the capacity in your manual.
Use the right detergent
Front-load machines need low-suds detergent. Too much detergent leaves residue and causes smell and leaks.
Clean the filters
Clean the lint filter or drain filter every month or two to avoid blockages.
Wipe and dry
Wipe the gasket and leave the door or lid open after washing so moisture can escape.
Descale in hard-water areas
Hard water leaves scale on the heater, valves and tub. Use a descaler and book a service once or twice a year.
Keep the machine level
An unlevel machine shakes, wears its bearings and makes noise.
Check the hoses
Look for cracks and bulges in the inlet and drain hoses every year and replace old ones.
Protect from voltage fluctuation
Use a voltage guard or stabiliser if your area has frequent surges.
Service it regularly
A yearly service finds small problems before they become expensive.
