Tips to Prevent Washing Machine Problems
Small habits go a long way:
Don’t overload — Always follow the machine’s kg limit
Clean the filter monthly — A blocked filter causes drainage issues
Use the right detergent — HE machines need low-suds detergent
Leave the door open after washing — Prevents mold and bad smells
Check pockets — Coins and clips damage the drum and pump
Level the machine — An uneven surface causes vibration and bearing wear
Run a drum clean cycle — Once a month keeps it fresh
Don’t ignore error codes — Early diagnosis saves money
