Washer Repair Las Cruces New Mexico
Unlike the article on Huffington Post, “A Washing Machine Should Last As Long as Hubble Telescope,” those top or front-loading washers are simply not made to last an eternity. Keep ahead of Washer Repair with these tips:
Don’t fill it to the brim. Have you ever wondered why it is you can’t overload your washer, stuffing full to the brim? It has to do with the stress on the belt motor. The belt can slip or even break with load after load overloaded. The repair could be more costly than a few extra washes at recommended load levels.
Soap, Soap everywhere... Some of the newer washers may not drain right because of the suds if you use too much detergent. Front-end washers will probably leak if you add too much soap as the suds can rise too high up in the overflow tube---sometimes this will cause the machine to stop as well.
It’s about protecting the finish: Don’t spray pre-wash on top of your washer. True, while most of the coatings on washing machines are Porcelain Enamel, using today’s pre-wash or stain removers can, over time,” do a number on the “painted and plastic surfaces.”
Don’t neglect the ‘fill hose screens’ Just like your car engine, the washing machine has to breath. That means cleaning the intake screens---they’re located where the water hoses enter the machine. Sediment can build up, as well as mineral deposits.
Go gently when removing hoses to protect the threads on the back of your unit. Rubber hoses last about five years, while the braided kind should last twice as long.
