Wipe Down the Lid and Drum After Each Use – Wipe the interior of the lid and drum to prevent moisture buildup that can lead to mold and mildew.
-
Check and Clean the Filter – If your washer has a filter, clean it regularly to ensure proper water drainage and prevent clogs.
-
Inspect Hoses for Leaks – Periodically check the water hoses for cracks, leaks, or bulges. Replace them if needed to prevent flooding.
-
Use the Right Detergent – Always use HE (high-efficiency) detergent for top-load washers to prevent excess suds and residue buildup, which can affect washing performance.

Level the Washer – Ensure the washer is level to prevent excessive vibration during the wash cycle, which can cause wear and tear on the machine.
-
Leave the Lid Open Between Loads – After washing, leave the lid open to allow the drum to dry and prevent mold or mildew growth.
-
Use the Appropriate Cycle – Select the correct cycle based on your laundry load to avoid overloading the washer and to ensure effective cleaning.
