Maintenance Tips for your Washer
We want you to be happy with your appliance and not have to call us for repairs. Although appliance repairs are inevitable, you can prolong the life your washing machine by doing few things regularly and keeping in mind a few tips.
Check for loose change and small items in your pockets. Make sure to empty out pockets before dumping clothes into the washer. If these small items come out of your pockets while the load is being washed, it usually ends up in the motor. Things that end up in the motor are pretty random, ranging from coins, to bolts, to credit cards, to keys. With time these lodged items will make you need a washer repair quicker.
Clean your washer regularly – clean out all dirt and build up on the dispensers and gaskets at least once a month. Check your manual to see how else you can clean your washer to prolong its life.
Don’t overload your washer – putting in too much clothes or too heavy a load can wear out the drum over time. Resist the temptation to load up your washer with everything that is dirty in the house. In the short term you may save a few hours of laundry time, but in the long term it will cost you to repair your appliance and the downtime is usually not fun.
Choose the right spin speeds, water level, and detergent – Proper use of your washer is the best way to prolong its life. Refer to your manual to find out the right spin speeds, water level, and detergents for your situation. If you an energy efficient washer that automatically senses weight and needs, this may not be an issue for you.
