It is important to carry out preventive maintenance to avoid:
Water leaks: One of the most common problems in washing machines is water leaks. These can be caused by loose connections, damaged hoses, or a faulty gasket. To prevent these problems, it is important to occasionally check the water connections and make sure they are in good condition. Additionally, it is advisable to inspect the hoses for signs of wear and replace them if necessary.
Bad odors: Bad odors in washing machines are another common problem, caused mainly by the accumulation of dirt, detergent residue and moisture. To avoid them, it is essential to regularly clean the drum and the detergent dispenser with hot water and vinegar or baking soda. It is also important to leave the washing machine door open after each use to allow it to dry properly and thus avoid humidity.
Drainage problems: If your washing machine is not draining properly, it may be due to clogs in the drain pump filter or drain hose. To avoid this problem, we recommend regularly cleaning the pump filter and checking that the drain hose is free of obstructions to prevent the pump from stopping.
Parts Wear: Over time, some washing machine parts may wear out and need to be replaced. This may include the agitator, belt, suspension. To extend the life of your washing machine, it is important to perform regular preventive maintenance and inspection of worn parts.
