If you already embrace best practice when looking after your appliances and are encountering break downs or faults, then Appliance Repair Express offers a professional, fast and competitively priced washing machine repairs service in Solihull and Birmingham.
Keep the door open
When you finish your laundry, it’s tempting to close the door on the washing machine – many of us don’t even think about it. However, this isn’t the best way to care for your device. By leaving the door open, you allow air into the machine that will dry out the seal and drum and prevent mould from gathering.
Don’t overload
The capacities listed on washing machines are there for a good reason. By consistently cramming in more clothes than the device is capable of handling you are placing avoidable strain on the motor. Inevitably this increases the likelihood of a fault occurring and the need for a washing machine repair.
Use a colder cycle
Using a colder temperature setting on your washing machine has two main benefits; it requires less power, saving you money, and is delicate on your garments. As well as running colder cycles, it would be best if you regularly run a hot wash in an empty machine to keep it clear of mould and mildew.
