Maintain Your Washer: 8 Tips to help extend the life of
your washing machine

1. Inspect the hoses: Every month or so, make sure there are no bulges or cracks and that the fittings are tight.

2. Don’t Overload it: Oversize loads can damage your washer, so break up your laundry into smaller loads.

3. Use the right detergent: Make sure you’re using the right kind for your model. Many energy-efficient washers require a low-sudsing HE detergent.

4. Use the right amount of detergent: Too much detergent will leave a residue and is hard on your washer. Pods make it easy, but if your using liquid, measure according to the manufacturer’s directions.

5. Clean the interior and dispensers: Let the full cycle complete. Yes, you need to wash the washer. This will help keep it clean and smelling fresh. Tip! Every month or so, run an empty load of hot water with 2 cups of white vinegar. In the middle of the wash cycle, add ½ cup of detergent.

6. Wipe down the drum, door and gasket: Doing this once a month will help ensure the washer won’t give off odors that can seep into your laundry. Tip! Use equal parts water and vinegar to clean the gasket.

7. Leave the door ajar after a load: Ever notice a smell when you open your washer to start a load? This can help with that.

8. Transfer clean laundry to the dryer as soon as it’s done: Letting wet clothes languish in the washer can trigger mold and mildew.
