Do you take proper care of your washing machine?

Save the service call and maintain your machine so it doesn't suffer from premature wear and tear. Many washer repair problems are simply issues that could've been prevented or delayed for years, with adequate maintenance.

First off, inspect the hoses and attachment pieces on the outside of your washing machine. Check to see if the hoses have any breakage, blistering or visible leaking. Look for signs of rust or corrosion around the hose fittings.

Both the hose and its attachments should be swapped out if there is physical damage. Please note that a damaged hose can burst and leak out more than enough water to cause serious damage to your home - potentially ruining some of your electrical outlets and light fixtures and making a sudden fire very possible.

Next, check the dispensers as they can potentially leak or get jammed up. This issue often happens because of using a harsh laundry detergent or fabric softener. Some appliance owners will choose to mix in water (half and half ratio) to make sure the liquid is easily dispersed.

Now make sure the machine is level. Blankets and other heavy loads can cause the machine to vibrate excessively which can result in damage to internal parts. To make sure the machine is balanced, either adjust the screws or, if your washer has them, make use of the auto-adjusting rear legs.

Also, this next tip doesn't relate with washer repair but still holds significant importance. Your machine needs to be cleaned internally on a semi-frequent basis. Why? Bacteria can harbor, especially above the fill line where the water splashes. Make a habit out of it; do an empty load at the hottest level possible with a few cups of white vinegar inside.


Helpful tip

Is your washing machine perfectly level on the floor? Any crookedness will influence rocking back and forth. This movement is unnatural and is normally due to the machine not sitting flush to the floor. Alternatively, putting a heavy blanket in one side of the washing machine and leaving the other empty could cause a similar effect. To minimize on the rocking and vibration, make sure the legs are elevated as little as possible - keep them closer to the floor but even. Also, likely your machine has self-adjusting back legs which will help you automatically achieve perfect levelness..
