Benefits of Preventative Maintenance

Benefits of Preventative Maintenance

Preventative maintenance is the practice of regularly inspecting and servicing a washing machine to prevent potential issues from arising. Regular maintenance can help prolong the lifespan of your washing machine and prevent costly repairs in the future.

In this article, Electric Laundry Repair will discuss some simple steps you can take to keep your washing machine in good working order.

The first step in preventative maintenance for your washing machine is to keep it clean. Over time, lint and other debris can build up in the drum and hoses, leading to blockages and reduced efficiency.

To clean your washing machine, you can use a damp cloth to wipe down the drum and door seal and use a brush to remove any lint build-up in the hoses. You can also run an empty load with a cup of white vinegar added to the detergent tray to help remove any built-up grime.

Another important step in preventative maintenance is to regularly check the hoses and connections for leaks. Washing machine hoses can become loose or cracked over time, leading to water leaks.

To check for leaks, inspect the hoses and connections for any signs of wear or damage, and tighten any loose connections. If you notice any cracks or leaks in the hoses, they should be replaced as soon as possible.

Additionally, it's important to ensure that the washing machine is level. An unlevel machine can lead to uneven wear on the drum and can cause the machine to vibrate excessively. Use a level to check that the machine is level and adjust the legs as needed.

Another important aspect of preventative maintenance is to keep the washing machine well-balanced during the wash cycle. An unbalanced load can cause excessive vibrations and can lead to damage to the drum and other components.

To keep your washing machine well-balanced, you should always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for load size and distribution.

Finally, it's also important to have your washing machine serviced by a professional technician regularly. The technician will check the machine's components and make any necessary repairs to ensure that it is running efficiently and safely. A professional technician can also provide you with recommendations for keeping your washing machine in good working order.

In conclusion, preventative maintenance is an essential part of keeping your washing machine in good working order. By regularly cleaning your washing machine, checking for leaks and ensuring that it is level, you can prevent potential issues from arising and prolong the lifespan of your washing machine.

Additionally, having a professional technician service your washing machine regularly will ensure that it is running efficiently and safely.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your washing machine running smoothly for years to come. Contact Electric Laundry Repair on 07 847 8070 or admin@elrnz.co.nz to book your preventative maintenance today.
