(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 16, 2011 ) Valrico, FL – Appliance repair Valrico FL technicians share 10 ways for consumers to get the most out of their washing machine. “Simple habits in the laundry room can make a big difference in energy savings and washer performance,” said Lance Kimball, owner of Appliance Repair Specialists.
According to Kimball, many washing machine problems are caused by overloading the machine and poor maintenance. Here are 10 tips he shares with his customers to prolong the life of their appliance and save energy:
• Level the Washer: An unbalanced machine will be very noisy very noisy and can cause undue wear and tear on parts.
• Maintain Hoses: Replace hoses every 5 to 7 years to eliminate the risk of leaking or bursting. A burst washer hose can do serious water damage to a home very quickly.
• Maintain Drain: Keep waste water drain clear of debris, lint and other blockages. Make sure hose is not kinked.
• Do not overload: The excess weight of an overloaded washer will cause the washer to over work and use more energy. It can also lead to serious damage to the machine.
• Detergent: Follow manufacturer’s guidelines when measuring detergent. The amount needed depends on water hardness, size of load and degree of soil.
• Water Temperature: Save energy by using cold or warm water.
• Load size: One large load is much more efficient than several small loads. Save time, energy, water, detergent and wear and tear on the machine with fewer, larger loads (but again…do not overload!)
• Spin Cycle: The better the spin cycle, the more water that is extracted from clothes so they dry faster. An over loaded machine will not spin efficiently, so clothes will come out wetter and the dryer will take longer and use more energy.
• Drum Balance: Distribute laundry evenly around the spindle to prevent overloading the motor and breaking the drum belt.
• Water Level: Use the appropriate water level for the size load. Washing a small load in a high water level leads to reduced agitation and cleaning power.
The number one tip for maintaining a washing machine is to have professional appliance repair and service when needed. Appliance repair can be dangerous for the average homeowner to take on and it can lead to more serious damage to the machine.
