Tips to Prevent Washing Machine Problems
Small habits go a long way in keeping your machine running well.
- Don’t overload — Stuffing too much in a single cycle strains the motor and drum bearings
- Use the right detergent — HE (High Efficiency) detergent for front loaders; too much soap causes pump blockages
- Clean the drum monthly — Run an empty hot cycle with white vinegar to remove mould and limescale
- Check pockets before washing — Coins, keys, and wires damage the pump and drum
- Leave the door open after use — Prevents mould on the door seal, especially for front loaders
- Clean the filter every 2–3 months — A blocked filter is the #1 cause of drainage problems
- Level the machine properly — An unbalanced machine causes excessive vibration and wears bearings faster
- Don’t ignore small issues — A minor noise today can be a major repair in 3 months
