🧼 1. Clean the Drum Regularly
Run an empty hot water cycle with vinegar or a washing machine cleaner once a month to remove detergent buildup and odors.
🧽 2. Wipe Down After Use
After each wash, wipe the door, drum, and rubber gasket (especially for front loaders) to prevent mold and mildew.
🚪 3. Leave the Door Open
Keep the door or lid open after use to allow airflow and drying, which prevents musty smells and mold growth.
🧴 4. Use the Right Detergent
Use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent if required, and avoid using too much — excess suds can damage the machine over time.
🚿 5. Clean the Detergent Dispenser
Pull out and rinse the drawer regularly to prevent clogging and soap buildup.
🧹 6. Check and Clean the Filter
Clean the lint filter (usually found at the bottom) every few months to improve drainage and efficiency.
💧 7. Inspect the Hoses
Check the water hoses for cracks, leaks, or bulges. Replace them every 3–5 years to avoid water damage.
⚖️ 8. Avoid Overloading
Don’t stuff the machine — overloading strains the motor and reduces washing performance.
🧺 9. Balance the Load
Make sure the load is evenly distributed to avoid shaking and wear during the spin cycle.
🛠️ 10. Schedule Professional Maintenance
Get your machine professionally serviced once a year to ensure all parts are in good working condition.
