Your washing machine is the appliance you most depend on. To avoid a huge pile of dirty laundry, you use your washing machine multiple times per week. Washer maintenance is crucial for preventing washer breakdowns. Here are some tips to help you avoid washer repair and keep your machine running when it is needed.
Four Simple Ways to Prevent Washing Machine Repair
It is usually not necessary to take drastic steps to prevent washing machine failures. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your washer and prevent you from needing a repair.
These are four easy ways to give your washer some TLC
#1.
After a wash cycle, the wash tub may be covered in soap suds and residue. Bad odors can quickly be caused by soap suds and residue in the wash tub. Your washer may smell like mildew.
This is how to keep your washer clean and avoid costly repairs.
To remove difficult-to-reach deposits, use a washer cleaner monthly.
Use machine wipes to clean your washer’s tub after every cycle. Do not forget to clean the detergent dispensers and the door gasket!

Excessive soap suds can be left behind by detergents, as we have already mentioned. This can lead to soap suds build-up and may require washing machine repairs for high-efficiency models. These machines need HE detergent that is compatible with lower water levels.
Regular detergent can cause clothing to be ruined if used in HE washers. Leakage and other problems could result from repeated use. There are many strong detergents available to help you choose the right detergent for your washer.
#3.
To reduce washing machine loads, it can be tempting to load your washer with clothes. Overloading your washer can cause laundry to not be as clean as it should. The fabric may have holes or tears.
Overloading your washer too often can cause problems such as a washer that won’t spin, or a washer that makes a loud noise. These situations may require professional washer repair services. These washer loading tips can help you avoid costly repairs.
Allow 6 inches between the top of your washer tub and the pile.
To create a balanced load, mix large and small items.
Top-loading washers will require you to place your clothes evenly around the agitator.
Front-loading washers fill with water from the bottom. To ensure that they are in contact with detergent and water for a longer time, we recommend placing heavy-soiled items first.

Avoid Clogs by Emptying Your Pockets
If there is a puddle of water left in the washer tub, it could be a sign that your washer isn’t draining properly. This problem can be avoided by checking the pockets of your clothes before washing. You may notice your washer not draining if you have loose coins or wrappers.
