Not having the washing machine level is one of the reasons why they end up breaking down before.

Experts recommend that if you want your washing machine to last longer we should check the level it has, in order to reduce the vibration and the noise it causes when it is in operation. That is, make sure it is placed on a flat surface.

To level the washer you must proceed with these steps: move it from its usual position, move it forward and backward, from left to right to check its stability. In case you do not have it, you must unscrew the legs of the lower part that are limping until they are all at the same level.

Another of the tricks of the experts to make your washing machine last much longer is to clean it every so often. It is recommended to devote a few minutes every two months to perform a series of care to the washing machine.

Whether your appliance has a self-cleaning program or not, you will put a hot water program without any laundry load and add a mixture of one liter of vinegar, one liter of bleach and one liter of water.

You can also complete it with a liter of anti-limescale products or resort directly to products to clean the washing machine.

The same should be done to clean the box, which you will proceed to disassemble (it is very simple) and to wash with warm water and a toothbrush worn to remove all accumulated dirt.
