Washers fail early mostly from avoidable stress. Build these habits to add years of reliable service.

Do Not Overload

Cramming the drum strains the bearings and motor.

Fix: Keep loads to three-quarters full so clothes can move.

Leave the Door Open

A sealed front-loader traps moisture and grows mould.

Fix: Leave the door and dispenser ajar between washes.

Clean Monthly and Check Hoses

Residue builds up and rubber hoses age and burst.

Fix: Run a monthly clean cycle and replace fill hoses every five years.
