Because washing machines do so many things, they may be harder to diagnose than they are to repair. This is due to the special timing cycles that operate valves and motors that turn water on, spin the tub, drain water, and control the water temperature. Orange County Appliance Repair prides itself in having the knowledge and necessary skills to do the job properly.

Cleaning the Washer

Regularly clean the top and door of the washer to prevent the buildup of dirt and detergent. When you wash very linty materials, remove lint from the tub after removing the laundry. Soap deposits may cause laundry to smell bad. To solve this problem, fill the tub with water and add 1 pound of water softener or 1 gallon of white vinegar; then run the machine through the complete wash cycle. If the deposits are really bad, wash the inside of the tub with a solution of household ammonia and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe the tub with liquid bleach. Caution: Rinse the tub thoroughly before wiping it out with bleach. Ammonia and bleach can combine to form a very dangerous gas.

Finally, run the machine through a complete wash cycle before you put any more laundry in.
