How to Extend the Life of Your Washing Machine

Don't Overload the Drum

Overloading strains the motor, belt, and suspension components — leave room for clothes to move freely.

Use the Right Detergent and Amount

High-efficiency (HE) machines need HE detergent — regular detergent creates excess suds that strain the pump and can cause leaks.

Leave the Door Open Between Loads

On front-load machines, this simple habit prevents the mold and odor buildup that's one of the most common service calls we get.

Keep It Level

An unlevel machine vibrates more during spin, accelerating wear on the suspension system.

Address Small Issues Early

A minor leak or an occasional odd noise is much cheaper to fix than the bigger failure it can lead to.
