Simple maintenance and smart usage tips from WM Doctor to keep your washing machine running efficiently for years.
Overloading your washing machine strains the drum and motor, leading to early wear. Always follow the recommended load capacity for your model.
High-efficiency machines require low-sudsing detergent. Using the wrong detergent can cause residue buildup and reduce washing efficiency.
Run a monthly empty hot water cycle with vinegar or a washing machine cleaner to remove limescale, detergent residues, and bacteria.
Check water hoses for cracks or leaks. Replace worn hoses to prevent water damage and maintain optimal water flow.
Uneven placement causes vibration and noise. Adjust the machine’s feet so it sits level on the floor.
Following these tips and scheduling professional maintenance when needed ensures your washing machine lasts longer and performs better.
