How Often Should You Service Your Washing Machine?
Most washing machine problems are preventable with a basic maintenance routine. Here is a simple schedule to keep your machine running well.
Every wash: Leave the door slightly open afterward to prevent mould and odours.
Monthly: Clean the detergent drawer and door seal, and run an empty hot cycle to clear residue.
Every 3 months: Clean or check the drain filter for coins, buttons, and lint.
Annually: Book a professional washing machine service to check the drum bearings, belt, and hoses before they fail.
Following this schedule reduces the chance of a washing machine not draining or not spinning unexpectedly. Findafix offers washing machine maintenance and same-day washing machine repair across Nairobi and Westlands when something does go wrong.
