Introduction
Washing machines are a big investment for Bangladeshi households. Regular maintenance ensures better performance, energy savings, and a longer lifespan—especially in Bangladesh’s humid and dusty environment. This 2025 guide gives practical tips to keep your washer in top shape.
1. Clean the Drum Monthly
- Run an empty wash cycle with hot water and 1 cup of vinegar or baking soda
- Prevents mold, bad smell, and detergent buildup
- Ideal frequency: Once every 3–4 weeks
2. Leave the Door or Lid Open After Use
- Prevents mold and mildew in humid climates
- Especially important for front-load washers
- Wipe the gasket after every use
3. Use the Right Detergent
- Use low-suds detergent for front-load machines
- Overusing detergent causes residue and motor strain
- Buy washing machine-specific detergents available on Pickaboo
4. Check and Clean the Lint Filter
- Found in semi-automatic and some top-load models
- Clean it once every 10–12 washes
- Helps maintain efficient water drainage
5. Protect from Voltage Fluctuations
- Use a voltage stabilizer to protect the motor and PCB
- Especially important in rural or semi-urban Bangladesh
- Unplug after each use to reduce standby load
6. Clean the Water Inlet Filter
- Over time, dust and sand from municipal supply clog the inlet
- Detach hose and gently clean the mesh screen with a brush
- Ideal frequency: Once every 3–4 months
7. Level the Machine Properly
- Uneven flooring can cause shaking and internal damage
- Use a spirit level and adjustable legs to balance
- Prevents noise and damage to internal bearings
8. Schedule Professional Servicing Yearly
- Brands like LG, Samsung, Walton offer affordable AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract)
- Especially useful before monsoon season
- Avoids costly repairs later
Conclusion
Proper care and maintenance of your washing machine ensure years of smooth service—whether you live in Dhaka, Sylhet, or a remote village. Follow these tips regularly, and your washer will serve your family well through 2025 and beyond.
