Maximizing the lifespan of your laundry pair requires more than just pushing buttons — it takes consistent maintenance. A few minutes of upkeep now can save you from a mid-cycle disaster later, and from a repair call that regular care could have prevented.
Simple Steps to Keep Your Machines Running
Follow these simple steps to keep your machines running:
- Clean the dryer lint screen after every single load to prevent fire hazards. This is the most important thing you can do for your dryer.
- Inspect washer hoses for cracks or bulges every six months. Washing machine hoses are under constant pressure and can fail suddenly, causing significant water damage.
- Avoid overloading, which strains the drum and motor bearings. It's tempting to stuff in one more towel, but overloading causes excessive wear and results in poorly cleaned clothes.
- Wipe the dryer moisture sensor with rubbing alcohol monthly. Fabric softener and dryer sheets can leave a film that affects sensor accuracy.
When to Seek Professional Help
Regular care goes a long way, but it won't prevent every issue. If your washer starts vibrating excessively or your dryer won't heat, it's time to call a professional rather than wait it out — catching a problem early is usually the difference between a quick fix and a full replacement.
