Your washing machine works hard every day. Like any machine, it needs regular care to run smoothly. With proper maintenance, you can avoid costly repairs and make your machine last 5-7 years longer.

At FixRepair.in, Patna’s No.1 Washing Machine Repair Service – Call: 8097487039, we see 90% of breakdowns happen due to lack of cleaning. Follow these 7 simple tips from our experts to save thousands on repairs.

1. Clean The Drum Every Month

A dirty drum is the #1 reason for bad smell and black spots on clothes.

What to do: Every month, run an empty wash cycle with hot water + 1 cup white vinegar or 2 spoons baking soda. This removes detergent residue, mold, and bacteria. Your clothes will smell fresh and your drum will stay clean.

2. Clean The Filter Every 30-45 Days

Most people don’t even know their machine has a filter! This small filter traps lint, coins, and hair.

What to do: Open the small panel at the bottom of your front-load machine or inside the top-load. Remove the filter, clean it under tap water, and put it back. A clogged filter causes water not draining, long wash times, and pump failure which costs ₹1,200 – ₹2,500 to fix.

3. Check Drain Hose & Inlet Pipes Regularly

This is where most leaks start in Patna homes.

What to do: Every 3 months, check the back hoses for cracks, bulges, or loose connections. If you see water marks on the floor behind the machine, replace the hose immediately. A small hose costs ₹300 but can save you from ₹5,000 water damage to your flooring.

4. Never Overload or Underload – Balance The Load

Overloading is the biggest killer of your machine’s motor and drum suspension.

What to do: Fill the drum only 70-80% full. Clothes need space to tumble. If you hear loud banging or the machine shakes a lot, stop it and redistribute the clothes evenly. This saves your motor, belt, and bearings.

5. Use The Right Detergent – Less is More

Using too much detergent or the wrong type creates heavy scaling inside.

What to do:

• For Front-Load Machine: Always use HE (High Efficiency) liquid or powder – only 1 spoon.
• For Top-Load Machine: Use top-load specific detergent.
• Never use dish soap or hand-washing powder. It creates excess foam and damages the PCB.

6. Schedule Professional Servicing Once a Year

Even if your machine is working fine, get it deep cleaned once a year.

At FixRepair.in, our Annual Maintenance includes:

• Full drum deep cleaning & descaling
• Filter, pump, and hose cleaning
• Motor and belt checking
