⚠️ 3 Habits That Slowly Kill Your Washing Machine
Washers rarely fail “all of a sudden.”
Most of the time, they’re worn down slowly — load by load, month after month. After years in repairs, I keep seeing the same patterns. The machine still runs, but its lifespan is already on borrowed time.
Here are three habits I wish I could ban 👇
1️⃣ Constant overloading
“But it all fit!” — that’s usually where trouble starts.
Heavy towels, blankets, jeans — all that extra weight puts stress on the drum, bearings, and shock absorbers.
The result? Loud noise, vibration, and a very expensive drum repair.
2️⃣ Using too much detergent
More detergent doesn’t mean cleaner clothes.
It means excess foam, buildup, bad odors, and drainage problems. I’ve opened machines where suds reached the electronics.
Yes — even in premium brands.
3️⃣ Ignoring early warning signs
A little noise? Drains slowly? Froze once or twice?
That’s how “small issues” turn into major failures. I hear this all the time:
“I thought it would go away.” It never does.
💬 One thing to remember
A washing machine doesn’t need complicated care.
But it won’t forgive constant overloads, excess detergent, or ignoring its signals.
