If you purchased a front load washer, you know that it was quite an investment. You will need to save it and have it last for as long as you can. Here are some helpful tips and hints.
Prevent Mold Growth
Mold can grow quickly in a front loading washer if you don’t take care of it on a regular basis. These high energy washers can be hard to beat when the work at the top of their game. In order to prevent mold from growing, try these tips:
– Don’t leave damp clothes lying inside the washer. When the washer is done, gather your clothes and throw them in the dryer.
– Leave the door open so that air can circulate if you don’t plan to use the washer all the time.
– Dry the insides of the door after a wash in order to prevent mold from growing.
– Use liquid detergent instead of the powder detergent.
– If the room your washer is in stays damp, consider running a dehumidifier to help remove the moisture in the air.
Protecting/Cleaning the Door Seal Gasket (Boot)
It’s important that your door seals in order for your washer to last. You need to have the gasket or door seal working at its best at all times. These seals can harbor bacteria and germs. You can keep it cleaned out by:
– Cleaning the rubber seal located at the front of the washer with a damp cloth after each wash will help it last longer.
– Use a mixture containing half vinegar and half water to remove any fabric that may have become caught in the seal. You can also use a cotton swab to clean it out.
– If you see mold on the inside of the seal, you need to take care of it immediately by pull the rubber lining back and then wipe it down with a cleaner made for mold growth. Wear gloves while cleaning it and always leave the door open to dry.
Cleaning the Dispenser
You take the dispenser for granted until it no longer works. You will want to stop the growth of mold in this little opening by using a detergent that specially designed for your appliance. You also want to make sure that you pour water in the dispenser after you pour in your detergent to help keep it moving south. If you don’t keep it cleaned, the mold and mildew will eventually work its way onto your clothes. Remove the drawer once a month and soak the draw in a solution consisting of 1/3 cups of white vinegar to 2/3 cup of water.
Running Cleaning Cycle
Every once in a while, you will want to run the washer without adding clothes in it in order to clean it. You can add a cleaning solution to the drum while running the cycle in order to kill bacteria. Here’s what to do:
– Add a splash of bleach or choose a bathtub cleaner through the detergent dispenser.
– Select the tub clean option or a setting that indicates clean and hit start.
– Once the cycle is through, the door can then open and you can wipe off the seal and the glass
– Leave the door open until the drum is dry
Increasing the Lifespan of Washer’s Parts
You may have noticed an error code or maybe you see water drainage or the vibrations of the washer are louder than normal. Or maybe the clothes are still wet after they spin. There are many problems that can creep up on your new model. You can prevent them from getting worse by simply performing maintenance on the unit.
What to Do If Problems Strike
If you notice a problem, you can check the owner’s manual for a list of troubleshooting possibilities. If they don’t work, consider hiring an Appliance Repair professional in San Diego County to come in and look at the appliance.
