Introduction
A washing machine is a big investment for any Bangladeshi household. But without proper care, even the best models can break down early. This guide shares the most practical and locally relevant tips to maintain your washing machine — so it lasts longer and performs better in 2025 and beyond.
1. Clean the Drum Regularly
- Use the machine’s tub clean function monthly
- For semi-automatic washers, rinse the tub with warm water and vinegar to remove buildup
2. Descale in Hard Water Areas
- If you live in Dhaka, Chattogram, or any area with hard water, use a descaling agent every 2 months
- Prevents calcium buildup that affects wash quality and damages the drum
3. Clean the Lint Filter Weekly
- Lint filters catch dirt and fabric particles — a clogged filter causes poor cleaning and overflow issues
- Locate and rinse it after every few washes
4. Leave the Door Open After Use
- Prevents mold and bad odor by allowing air circulation
- Wipe the rubber door gasket of front-load washers to keep it dry
5. Check and Replace Inlet Hose Annually
- Inspect the water inlet pipe for leaks or cracks
- Replace with a durable, pressure-resistant pipe if needed
6. Don’t Overload the Machine
- Excessive laundry damages the motor and reduces cleaning performance
- Always follow the machine’s rated capacity (e.g., 6.5kg, 7kg, etc.)
7. Use the Right Detergent
- Avoid using hand-wash detergent — it creates excess foam and damages sensors
- Use detergent made for front-load or top-load washers
8. Schedule Professional Servicing Yearly
- Especially important in areas with frequent power cuts or water issues
- Prevents long-term motor, drainage, or electrical issues
Conclusion
With the right maintenance habits, your washing machine can last well beyond its warranty. Follow these Bangladesh-specific care tips to ensure smooth operation and avoid expensive repairs.
