Tips for Maintaining Your Smart Washer Dryer Combo
Like all machines, upkeep is key to the longevity of your smart washer dryer combo. Here's my top three DIY maintenance tips:
- Regularly Clean the Drum: Regular cleaning will prevent your smart washer dryer from developing unpleasant odors. Remember to use drum-cleaning products that are recommended by the manufacturer.
- Remove Laundry Promptly: Letting damp clothes sit in the washer can cause mildew and mold. Make sure to promptly empty your laundry once it's clean!
- Regular Service Checks: Even though your device is smart and gives alerts, it's recommended to have regular service checks. You might be a DIY'er, but sometimes it's best to leave it to the professionals, sprinkling a fair mix of DIY and professional care!
