Largo Appliance Repair Specialists Suggest 10 Ways to Improve Washing Machine Performance

(EstateNewsWire.com, August 24, 2012 ) Largo, FL -- The Largo Appliance Repair Specialists suggest10 tips for improving washing machine performance. Simple good habits in the laundry room can make a big difference in energy savings and washer performance.

According to local washer repair technicians, many washing machine problems are the result of improper use and poor maintenance. They suggest having a qualified professional install the appliance and the owner should read the manual for proper use and troubleshooting tips.

Here are the top 10 suggestions provided by the washing machine service experts to improve performance and extend the life of the appliance:

• Level the Washer: An unbalanced machine can be very noisy and cause excessive wear and tear on the appliance.

• Maintain Hoses: Replace hoses every 5 to 7 years to prevent leaking or bursting which can lead to serious water damage to a home.

• Maintain Drain: Keep waste water drain clear of debris, lint and other blockages. Make sure hose is not kinked.

• Do not overload: Overloading the washer produces excess weight which puts undue strain on the machine, causing it to work harder and use more energy. In addition, clothes may not come out as clean.

• 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 which is just as effective as hot water in most cases.

• 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 most important tip for maintaining the 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.
