A washing machine may stop working not only because of its “old age”.

In many cases, household appliances break down due to mistakes made by housewives.

Don't want to break your washing machine? Then don't make the following mistakes under any circumstances.

Lots of washing powder

Some housewives believe that an abundance of detergent helps to wash things better.

In fact, the rule “The more powder, the cleaner the clothes will be” does not work.

There are certain proportions that must be observed. Usually we are talking about 25 g of the product per 1 kg of dry laundry.

If there is too much powder, the compartment may become clogged. It is possible that problems with the drainage system will arise.

Lots of laundry

The desire of some housewives to load more things into the drum of the washing machine is quite understandable: they want to wash all the laundry at once.

But you need to understand that the washing machine is overloaded. And this can lead not only to a decrease in the quality of washing, but also to a breakdown of the device.

Reluctance to clean the filter

This should be done 4-6 times a year. Ignoring the importance of the procedure can seriously shorten the life of the washing machine.

Reluctance to use laundry bags

Some items can only be placed in the washing machine drum in a special mesh bag.

We are talking about products with rigid elements that can damage the walls of the drum.
