Great Tips for Maintaining Your Washing Machine

Since these appliances are heavy, it is important to ensure that the ground they are sitting on is level to avoid causing it to shake or vibrate violently. Make sure that all the legs of the machine are stable and that the floor is even, as the vibrations from the spin cycle can cause it to shift and potentially cause damage.

Consider replacing the rubber hoses every few years or so. Also, use a washing machine cleaner agent at least once every few months to keep grim and detergent residue from building up on the inside. They have cleaning products that are specifically designed for this purpose, but you can also try filling the washer on largest load and adding 1-2 cups of bleach and run it for a wash cycle.

It is important to protect all your major appliances from electrical surges. You should plug the washing machine first into a surge protector and plug the surge protector into the wall. The latest washers are devices that are sensitive changes in electric circuits. However, preventing is the best way to protect.
