Sometimes housewives start the washing machine several times in a row.

This approach is quite understandable: a lot of dirty laundry accumulates, it is not possible to fit all these things into the drum of the washing machine, and you have to wash them “in several stages”.

However, restarting the device must be done in compliance with one important rule.

So, there should be at least a 20-minute interval between washes.

Failure to take this break can result in serious problems with your washing machine.

Why you shouldn't run your washing machine twice in a row

The fact is that this type of operation of the device cannot be called careful.

A washing machine that runs continuously for 2 (or even more) times in a row is under a very serious load.

Some parts of the device may overheat and stop functioning.

In this case, the washing machine will have to be repaired. The expenses will be serious. And it is not a fact that the device will be able to be “brought back to life”.

How to use a washing machine correctly

It is understandable that a laundry basket can accumulate a lot of things.

In such a situation, it is unlikely that one wash will be enough.

And still try not to start the washing machine several times in a row. Wash the laundry "in portions" and maximum once a day. By the way, it is advisable to turn on the washing machine no more than 5 times a week.

If you have to run the washing machine several times a day, take a break between procedures. The time interval between washing cycles should be at least 20 minutes. But a couple of hours is better.

And remember: even if this condition is met, you should not turn on the washing machine more than twice a day.
