Much has been said about washing machines that break down due to scale or ruin laundry during washing due to mold forming inside.
To avoid having to remember how to wash clothes by hand again, you need to read the instructions to the end at least once.
Let's try to figure out whether it is necessary to close the washing machine between cycles.
Close
Even among home appliance service technicians, there is an opinion that it is better to close the door.
If you keep it open, the hinges will sag, which can cause problems with the lock, or the door will no longer close tightly.
Leave open
Poor ventilation can lead to mold growing inside the drum, which can lead to an unpleasant odor.
In addition, high humidity is not good for metal parts and equipment.
Conclusion
Taking into account the critical comments of experts, it makes sense to leave the door of the washing machine open until the remaining moisture has completely dried.
After this, if you are concerned about the risk of the door sagging, you can remove the detergent drawer and close the loading door.
