Tips to Prevent Washing Machine Problems
A little care goes a long way. Here’s what our technicians recommend:
Don’t overload the drum — respect the kg capacity on the door label
Clean the filter monthly — the pump filter traps lint, coins, and debris
Run a drum clean cycle — once a month keeps mold and odors away
Use the right detergent amount — excess soap causes buildup and foam overflow
Check pockets before loading — coins and keys damage the drum and pump
Leave the door ajar after use — lets moisture escape and prevents mold on the seal
Inspect hoses every 6 months — cracks or bulges mean a leak waiting to happen
Don’t pause mid-cycle often — hard on the motor and electronics
Level the machine properly — an unbalanced machine shakes itself apart over time
Service annually — a quick checkup catches small issues before they become expensive
