The mistresses of washing machines constantly forget to do one prophylaxis, and then they are surprised at the problem that has arisen.

Today I come home from work, and my wife is complaining about the typewriter, she was washing it, and she got an infection, look what's the matter. This is our second washing machine, with it there were already problems with a leak, but for the first time it was leaking from under the lid, I figured out this nuance, there was a case in the sealing gum.

What's the problem this time

It turned out that the problem is in the drain filter, the instruction manual says that you need to check the pockets of things before washing. Any little things should be removed, in the form of coins and small debris, as a rule, the spouse always watches over this, but you cannot see everything. Therefore, you should periodically unscrew and clean the filter, but she and other housewives constantly forget about this.

What clogged the filter

He put in a flat plate and unscrewed the lid. The main problem was a piece of plastic bag that blocked the drain.

There were also other small debris, chips and lint, as well as fragments of scale from the heating element.

It turns out that, even if the garbage does not get into the bag after a thorough inspection, no one is insured against falling pieces of scale into the filter.

When to check

There are no clear deadlines, just make it a rule to inspect the filter once a week or once a month. Agree that it is better to do such a prophylaxis than to stop the machine and collect water from under it.
