DON’T’S:
Don’t over-soap … two tablespoons is usually enough
Don’t fill over two thirds with clothes
Don’t drag the clothes out of the washer – you may rip the gasket
DO:
Leave door open when not in use to try to avoid mildew
Use “control lock” if you have children that may climb into washer
Use “HE” soap
Empty pockets to protect the drain pump from foreign objects, drain pump is what i replace the most often
Clean filter once every 6 months ( some don’t have one)
Consider having a surge protector (strip with reset button works) for washer and dryer (if dryer is gas) as they both have computer boards
