Preventive Maintenance Tips
Extend the life of your washing machine and reduce the likelihood of costly breakdowns with these expert tips.
Clean the Drain Filter
Check the filter at the base monthly. Clearing lint and coins prevents drainage issues and pump failures.
Inspect Inlet Hoses
Replace rubber hoses every 5 years proactively. Stainless steel braided hoses offer superior durability against bursting.
Correct Detergent
Use low-sudsing HE detergent for front-loaders. Excess suds stress the pump and trigger error codes.
Monthly Drum Clean
Run a dedicated tub clean cycle monthly with a cleaning tablet to prevent odour-causing mould and bacteria.
Level Your Machine
An unlevel machine vibrates excessively, accelerating wear on bearings and shocks. Use a spirit level on all four feet.
Do Not Overload
Cramming the washer stresses the motor, bearings, and drive belt. Stick to recommended load weights.
