  Yes! There are several things you can do to minimize the occurrence of washing machine difficulties:

  
  

  • Inspect your washing machine for faults. Check for proper operation, including level adjustment if necessary. If the washer is not levelled, it can cause the equipment to vibrate excessively and components to wear out prematurely.
  • Cleaning the lint trap is essential. Keep your machine's lint trap clean to ensure efficient drainage and prevent damage.
  • Make sure all of the hoses are in good working order. Check for any leaks, replace as necessary, and keep an eye on your machine's water level. A leaking hose can lead to damage to your flooring and equipment.
  • Use too much detergent, though, and you may damage your clothes. Overloading a washing machine can cause it to work harder than necessary, leading to early failure.
  • When your washer is not in use, keep the door closed. This will ensure that the machine's interior is kept clean and dust-free.
  • If your machine isn't draining correctly, ensure the drain hose is clear of kinks or obstructions.

  
  

  Here are a few methods to prevent washing machine issues. Consult your owner's manual or contact a professional specialist for further details.
