Tips for the Proper Functioning of Washing Machines and Dryers

Timely replacement of bearings: If your washing machine makes a strange buzzing, rumbling, or airplane-like roaring noise during the spin cycle, this is the first sign of worn-out bearings. Ignoring this issue leads to a broken drum spider (shaft) and a damaged tub, which will eventually require a complete replacement of the appliance. Scale prevention and heating element (heating rod) care: Due to hard water, limescale accumulates on the water heating element (heating rod). If the machine fails to heat water or inexplicably trips the circuit breakers during a cycle, the heating element needs to be replaced. To prevent scale buildup, run an empty machine on a high-temperature cycle with specialized descaling agents once a month. Regular cleaning of the pump filter: Coins, hairpins, buttons, and lint frequently end up in the filter located in the bottom right corner of the washing machine. A clogged filter blocks water drainage, causing the machine to stop mid-cycle and flash an error on the screen. Users should open and clean this filter themselves every 2 to 3 months. Lint and dust filters in clothes dryers: The efficiency of a dryer is directly connected to its cleanliness. After every drying cycle, it is essential to clean the double lint filter of dust and fibers. If the appliance uses a condensation system, the bottom radiator (condenser) must be washed every 3 to 4 months; otherwise, the drying time will double, and the appliance will overheat. Working weight balance (overloading): Stuffing the drum beyond its maximum capacity deals a massive blow to the shock absorbers and springs. The appliance loses its balance and begins to vibrate violently or hop, which mechanically damages the chassis and internal drive systems. 💡 Restore the original peace and quiet to your appliances: Find certified washing machine and dryer repair technicians, electronic board masters, and suppliers of original spare parts on the platform: services.ss.ge
