Washing rubber backed mats can cause problems by putting
added strain on a washer and possibly causing unbalanced loads. In addition,
the rubber backing can break down and separate, infiltrating the wash system
clogging hoses, pumps, filters and valves. At the first sign of wear of the
backing, you should discontinue washing it.
Any water leak should be tended to immediately. Water can
damage bearings, motors and even the transmission. First look for leaking
hoses, if you cannot determine where the leak is, call a service technician.
Unusual noises should be tended to quickly. A squealing
or grinding noise may lead to a water leak or more extensive damage.
Before washing brassieres, check for worn edges. The
under wires frequently separate from the garment and cause major damage to the
washing machine and dryer components.
This little handy bra holder can be found in the laundry section at most local super stores. It holds your bra in its natural shape and prevents hook and straps from getting caught in washer.
Heavy clothing such as jeans and towels should be spread
out over two or more loads. These fabrics absorb lots of water and can put
added strain on the machine.
The water taps for the washing machine should be shut off
when the washing machine is not in use. Most rubber fill hoses are not meant to
withstand constant water pressure and can burst. If in an awkward position and
difficult to reach, purchase high pressure, braided metal fill lines.
