It's time to face the facts! We are made more convenient and comfortable by our home appliances every day. They save valuable time, keep us organized, and keep us tidy. Imagine if your washing machine breaks down suddenly during a school or work week!? What could you do? This is not what you want, is it? Here's some advice you can use to take better care of your washer and avoid any costly repairs.
People always say prevention is better than cure; this is definitely true when it comes to our precious appliances. Keeping them in good condition - which prevents damage and can ultimately save you money and headaches - can save you both. Your washer must always be in good working order if you have children, especially teenagers. You can keep your washer running smoothly with these tips and tricks.
Consult the User's Manual.
It is nothing special about this, and everyone knows it. Most buyers, however, really do not care. The User's Manual is more often forgotten or left inside the box. Then what? You'll find all the information you need on taking care of your machine there. The only thing you have to do is read it and keep it safely stored and easily accessible when you need it.
Your washing machine needs to be level when you install it.
The leveling of your washer is imperative to keeping it running smoothly for a longer period of time. Use a carpenter's level to ensure your washer is level if you are not sure it is. In order to level a gadget, the bubble inside must be perfectly centered on the gauge.
The washing machine tub should be cleaned periodically.
Cleaning the washer tub includes filling the machine with hot water. Add three cups of white vinegar and one half cup of baking soda to the washer and let it run until the water starts to drain. Put the machine on spin and then stop it. If the machine stops spinning, refill the tub with cold water and let it run normally for a few minutes.
The dispensers should be cleaned regularly.
With repeated use of the washer and time, particles are left behind and eventually accumulated in the washer's dispensers. It is necessary to eliminate those build ups. In order to clean the dispensers, remove them from the machine and soak them in hot water. Remove the dirt and particles that have built up by gently brushing them away.
Lastly and most importantly, get your washer routinely maintained. It takes trained eyes to spot problems with a washer before they start.
