Grand Rapids Michigan Appliance Repair Specialist Has Washing Machine Maintenance Tips For Customers

Dec. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- Grand Rapids, Michigan – Residents appreciate tips from their friendly Grand Rapids, MI appliance repair specialist.  Mike DeYoung, co-owner of E.D. Miller Appliance Service Inc has worked in the industry many years. Here are some of Mike's washing machine maintenance tips:

Washing machine repair should be done by a qualified technician. Washers combine water and electricity, creating a risk of injury or death if done incorrectly.

Level the washer – An unbalanced washing machine can be very noisy and cause wear and tear on internal parts. Also be sure to distribute clothes evenly around the spindle.

Replace hoses – Rubber hoses become brittle over time leading to bursting. Replace every 5 to 7 years.

Washer Loading – Follow the manufacturer's instructions when loading the machine and be aware that an overloaded washer will not work efficiently and the excess weight can cause damage. Also, one large load is more energy efficient than several smaller loads.  Save water, energy, detergent and wear and tear on the machine by doing full loads.

Detergent – The amount of detergent needed depends on the hardness of water, the size of the load and the amount of soil. Follow manufacturer's guidelines.

Water Temperature – Warm or cold water is recommended.  Hot water uses 2-3 times more energy.

Water Level – Use the appropriate water level for the size of the load.  Using too much water reduces agitation.
