Why do prevent washing machines? This allows you to extend the service life, to avoid breakdowns and malfunctions of the washing machine. The process consists of three stages:
- daily prophylaxis;
- periodic chemical and physical cleaning;
- inspection of the machine.
Next, we will talk about all the stages and consider in detail how to prevent the washing machine.
Breakdowns in the AGR: how to prevent
Of course, it is impossible to insure SMA against wear of parts or factory defects. There is no guarantee that even the most expensive washing machine will last a long time. The service life and work efficiency are affected by many factors:
- build quality and components;
- water quality;
- Terms of Use;
- power supply status;
- force majeure.
If you regularly follow the operating rules, but do not forget about prevention, there is a big chance that the washing machine will last much longer than indicated in the technical data sheet. Of course, you will have to spend a little more time, but this will have a positive effect.
Recommendation! Try to disassemble the machine at least once every 3 years and, to see, there are no malfunctions or breakdowns.
Prevention - a way to extend the life of a washing machine guarantees a high-quality, efficient washing and trouble-free operation if preventive measures are taken not only after washing, but also before the program is switched on. Often the main problem of scale formation on the heating element is hard water used for washing. This threatens serious damage.
Interesting! According to statistics, most often masters find large volumes of water stone in old washers. If you do not take any measures, then your machine will face the same fate - a premature failure!
To avoid the consequences, it is very important to make the water softer before washing. To do this, add special substances to the powder collector, which include softeners. Such actions should be carried out daily if you use the machine constantly. But that is not all that you have to do.
- Before you send things to the drum, inspect the pockets, get a small item that has been left behind. If a button or coin gets stuck in the machine, it will break.
- Do not forget to monitor the volume of things, putting them in the drum. If you overload the machine with excess clothing, the washing machine will fail.
- Use the temperature regime of 95 degrees as little as possible - this harms the typewriter.
- When washing things with metal parts: buckles, locks, buttons, send them to the laundry, previously placing them in a special bag.
- While things are being washed, do not leave the washer unattended for a long time, so that if necessary, take action on time. For example, if a leak occurs. You will notice signs of damage: knocking, noise, crashing and more.
- After finishing the program and removing things, carefully wipe the drum with a dry cloth. Do not forget about the powder collector and rubber sealant - they also need proper care.
- Always clean the filter. Remove water from the machine.
Important! Do not unplug the power cord during washing, as this will damage the control board!
Chemical and mechanical cleaning are two effective methods.
The use of water softeners does not mean that the washing machine does not need to be cleaned. According to the advice of masters, mechanical prevention of the washing machine with their own hands should be carried out at least once every 3 years. As for dry cleaning, this measure is required once every six months. Cleaning with chemicals does not take much time and effort. The whole point is to add a special cleaning agent to the powder receptacle. The longest program is set at high temperature. The selected product cleans all the insides of the washer from any dirt and germs. That's all the cleaning. Mechanical cleaning is more difficult because it is necessary to go through several stages:
- Remove the top cover and back of the washer.
- Remove and clean the machine drain pipe from dirt.
- The pump and nozzles should also be removed from the inside and cleaned.
- Take out the garbage filter, inlet and drain hoses from the machine; rinse.
We conclude: prevention will help extend the life of your machine, just try to pay attention to it as often as possible. We wish you to use your washing machine as often as possible and not to encounter breakdowns any longer!
