It is not worth reminding what this phenomenon is fraught with: mold will appear and the stench will spread everywhere.

So what to do in this case? On one of the social networks, a washing machine repair and maintenance specialist gave an answer.

In fact, everything is very simple. The specialist drew attention to the most common cause of stagnant water.

According to him, this happens due to clogged drainage holes.

Over time, the holes specially designed to drain water become clogged with debris that gets into the seal space.

The problem can be solved with the most ordinary small screwdriver.

Using this simple tool, bend back the rubber seal and you will see the drainage holes.

There may be 2-3 of them, or maybe one hole, but larger. It depends on the model of the "washing machine".

Carefully insert a screwdriver there and twist it, thereby cleaning the holes from dirt.

After this simple procedure, water will again flow out of the cuff.
