A washing machine is an indispensable assistant in the household. It saves time and effort, ensuring cleanliness and freshness of laundry.
But many owners don't know that using the washing machine twice in a row is a bad idea. Why is that? Let's find out.
Wear of parts
A washing machine consists of many parts that operate in a complex manner.
With each wash cycle they are subject to stress, friction, vibration, temperature and pressure changes.
If you don't let your machine rest between washes, these factors are amplified and parts wear out faster. This can cause your machine to break down or become less efficient.
Engine overheating
The engine is the heart of the washing machine. It is responsible for the rotation of the drum and pump, which ensure the washing and spinning of the laundry. The engine runs on electricity and produces heat.
If you start the washing machine twice in a row, the engine does not have time to cool down and overheats. This can lead to engine failure or breakdown.
Clogged filters
Filters are important elements of the washing machine that protect it from clogging and damage. Filters catch small particles of dirt, sand, hair, fluff and other contaminants that can get into the machine along with laundry or water.
If you run the washing machine twice in a row, the filters will clog faster and will not cope with their task. This can lead to a deterioration in the quality of washing or damage to other parts of the machine.
How to use a washing machine correctly
To extend the life of your washing machine and avoid unpleasant consequences, follow these simple rules.
• Do not overload the drum with laundry. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for load weight.
• Select the appropriate washing mode depending on the type and level of dirtiness of the laundry.
• Use a quality washing powder or gel. Do not overdo it with the amount of product.
• Clean filters regularly from dirt. Monitor the water level in the condensate tray.
• Allow the washing machine to rest after each wash cycle. It is advisable to leave at least an hour between washes.
• Perform preventive maintenance of your washing machine once a year. Contact qualified technicians.
