Many washing machines have a hatch at the bottom.

It can be located on the left or right, depending on the model of the equipment.

At the same time, this hatch needs to be opened periodically.

Why do this?

Behind it is a drainage pump. It works to drain water.

As a result, trash or items that were forgotten in pockets before washing can accumulate here.

Therefore, such a hatch needs to be opened and cleaned. It is advisable to do this once every couple of months.

It is also important to remember that the washing machine may display an error message due to the accumulated debris here.

Rules for caring for your washing machine

To make your equipment last longer, you need to take proper care of it.

The washing machine needs to be cleaned periodically. To do this, you can fill it with water and add a glass of vinegar.

Afterwards, you need to start washing at a high temperature.

It is just not desirable for it to run idle. Therefore, you can put a couple of things in the drum.

Also, after each wash, the machine must be wiped and dried properly.

This applies not only to the drum, but also to the powder compartment.

Earlier we talked about why powder remains in the washing machine tray.
