MD Appliance LLC provides maintenance services for GE washers to ensure peak efficiency.
Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your GE washer running smoothly, preventing unexpected breakdowns, and prolonging its lifespan. You should perform simple tasks such as cleaning the lint filter, inspecting hoses for wear, and ensuring the drum is clean once a month. These tasks prevent lint and debris buildup, which can cause the machine to work harder than necessary and lead to potential issues.
In addition to these basic tasks, it is also important to periodically inspect the washer's components for any signs of damage or wear. This includes examining the door seal for cracks or mold, ensuring that the water inlet filters are free from debris, and checking for any unusual noises during operation. Addressing these issues early can prevent them from escalating into more significant problems that may require costly repairs or even replacement of the machine.
Lastly, consider scheduling professional maintenance service at least once a year. A qualified technician can perform a thorough inspection, identify any hidden issues, and perform necessary adjustments or repairs. This professional touch not only helps in maintaining the washer’s efficiency but also provides peace of mind, knowing that your appliance is in good hands. Regular professional check-ups combined with routine maintenance can significantly enhance the performance and longevity of your GE washer, ensuring it remains a reliable part of your household for years to come.

Expert Tips for Maintaining Your Washer
To keep your washer working efficiently, follow these simple preventative maintenance steps:
- Clean the Washer: To prevent mold and mildew buildup, it's important to regularly clean the inside of your washer. Run an empty cycle with hot water and a cup of white vinegar once a month.
- Check Hoses: Inspect the water hoses regularly for wear or leaks. Replace them every 3-5 years to prevent bursting.
- Level the Washer: Ensure your washing machine is leveled to minimize vibration and noise. Use a leveling tool to adjust the feet as needed.
- Use the Right Detergent: For HE washer models, use high-efficiency (HE) detergent. Avoid excessive detergent to prevent residue buildup.
- Clean the Lint Filter: If your washing machine has a drain filter, clean it regularly to maintain proper drainage and prevent lint buildup.
- Leave the Door Open: After each use, leave the washer door slightly ajar to allow air circulation and prevent mold growth.
