Rare damage to washing machines

Sand in the washing machine - a problem with the drum

Sand getting into the machine is a little rarer. One of these reasons is that the summer season is much shorter than the rest. However, this does not mean that you will not end up with any inadvertent sand that will damage your appliance. They are harmful because they contain abrasives. The unpleasant thing is that they can go unnoticed for a long time, but at the same time they lead to consequences, such as damage to the drum, wear of the clothes and sticking to the white laundry is not at all pleasant. If at first glance these problems seem insignificant, you will definitely need some repair over time.

The most affected part when sand gets into the washing machine is the drum. It is a component that is extremely important for the proper functioning of a washing machine, but unfortunately it has to accept any challenges in the process. It absorbs excessive loads during a cycle or rotates with objects and grits that are not desirable to be inside. The annoying thing is that it works like this until a moment. For this reason, its wear can no longer remain in the background, and in the case of sand fall into it.

The potential for damage is related to rotation stopping or bursting. In most cases, it will need to be replaced to work the old way again.

Solution of the problem

• Option one - wait for the inside to dry and go thoroughly with the vacuum cleaner all over the drum to suck in the sand. In case you are not convinced that it is completely dry - wipe the rubber seal and drum before using the vacuum cleaner.
• Alternative - Wipe the sand with a wet cloth. It will stick to it and be removed from your appliance. This option is considered highly effective and safe and is therefore more commonly used than the above.
• Option three - This is a periodic cleaner that you rarely think of, but can have huge benefits. Even if you have not noticed the grains of sand, with extra care, you will remove them. In this case, you will not have to incur additional costs.
• Option Four - Look at your sand beach after the beach. Take away all the pockets and pull out the towels. For even better results, immerse them in water and dry them again when dry.

Water not pumped - drain pump problem

Indications that may indicate that you have a similar problem are related to blocking the cycle or removing excessively wet clothes after the cycle is completed.

From there, they passed through the hose and reached the drainage pump, causing damage. Such things could be coins, buttons, banners, linen, baby clothes, socks, as well as pet hair and hair.

Before loading the laundry, make sure your pockets are empty and use laundry bags for your laundry. This will reduce the likelihood of such damage to you. However, when done, you don't have many options. One is to contact a technician or check some components yourself before making a call.

 Possible solutions to the problem

 Remove the water from the washing machine and check for the hose to be folded or cracked
