It is worth evaluating the problem yourself. One of the most common problems is a clogged filter through which water is pumped into the machine. To eliminate it, shut off the water, disconnect the hose and use a brush to clean the intake valve mesh.

The drain pump also requires increased attention, because it often gets trash, buttons and small objects forgotten in pockets when loading. The washing machine has a special hole for cleaning the drain pump, which must be checked and cleaned regularly. This must be done with the machine idle, after draining the water.

Limescale is a common cause of breakdowns of washing machines, therefore preventive plaque cleaning is one of the main conditions for the successful operation of the unit. A wide selection of descaling agents is available in household chemical stores, but the cost of many is prohibitive. There is a simple and effective way to get rid of plaque in a cheaper way. 200 g of citric acid are poured into the laundry tub, the maximum temperature is set and the empty machine is started for the main cycle. Citric acid will remarkably clean the heating element, the surface of the tank and drum. This procedure should be carried out regularly, but not more than once every two months.

Fungus and mold in the washing machine do not bode well for either the unit itself or the owners. You can fight this scourge with baking soda. When mold appears, the inside of the washing machine is wiped with a solution of soda based on 1 glass of water, 1 glass of soda. If this does not help, you can use vitriol or any chlorine-based product.
