Introduction
Buying a washing machine is a big investment, and you want it to last as long as possible. Whether you own a front-load or top-load washer in Bangladesh, regular maintenance can prevent breakdowns and ensure better cleaning. In this 2025 guide, we’ll share 10 essential tips to keep your washer running like new.
1. Clean the Drum Regularly
- Run a drum clean or empty hot cycle with vinegar and baking soda monthly
- Prevents mold, lint, and detergent buildup
2. Leave the Door/Lid Open After Each Wash
- Prevents moisture and mold from developing inside
- Especially important for front-load models
3. Use the Right Detergent
- Avoid excess or wrong type of detergent
- Use high-efficiency (HE) detergent for front-loaders
4. Clean the Lint Filter & Drain Pump
- Clean the filter every 2–4 weeks (check your model’s manual)
- Helps prevent clogging and drainage issues
5. Don’t Overload the Washer
- Overloading strains the motor and reduces cleaning efficiency
- Follow load capacity guidelines (6kg, 7.5kg, etc.)
6. Level the Machine Properly
- A tilted washer vibrates more and damages internal parts
- Use a spirit level or adjust feet to stabilize
7. Check Hoses & Inlets for Leaks
- Inspect inlet and drain hoses every 3–6 months
- Replace if cracked or loose
8. Descale Every 6 Months
- Especially in areas with hard water (like Dhaka, Chattogram)
- Use a machine descaler or citric acid solution
9. Avoid Using Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)
- Use a voltage stabilizer or surge protector instead
- Protects against power surges during load shedding
10. Book Professional Servicing Once a Year
- Preventive check-ups ensure your washer stays efficient
- Look for certified service partners on Pickaboo or brand support
Conclusion
With these simple habits, you can extend your washing machine’s life and improve its cleaning efficiency. Remember, maintenance is cheaper than repair. Invest a little time monthly, and your washer will reward you with smooth, trouble-free performance.
