Washers are a godsend when it comes to taking the load off your plate, quite literally. They eliminate a very time-consuming and draining chore of daily laundry, allowing you luxury time to spend with yourself, your family and friends.
Washers have a long standing reputation of splitting its users half in their opinion of it. Some claim it is a miracle of God because of how efficiently it works and how easier it makes lives for them. Then there are the others who detest it stating that it doesn’t work well at all and they have to re-wash the clothes themselves. Personally, we think it comes down to the make and model you choose and how it fits in your kitchen capacity and load.
Nonetheless, there are certain guidelines you have to be aware of, if you are the proud owner of an Amana washer.

Loads matter. Especially in washing world. If you have a large family with heavier loads, you should go for washers that are efficient at thorough cleaning. If you live on your own, you don’t need a washer for giant loads and will probably be okay with a washer that works well for that kind of time and is is good at washing less clothes at once. Washers are designed for specific purposes and you should always align your needs and the washer’s capacity for an ideal result.
Choice Of Detergent Is Crucial
Many people are of the opinion that any detergent works in a washer, as long as it is of good quality. Not that we disagree, but there is a specific reason why the detergents for a top loading washer are different from a front loading one. They are created to mix and work under specific circumstances and conditions and your choice of conditioner should always rely on the make and model of your washer.
Prevent And Treat Scaling
Scaling happens over time. The lint and fabric from the laundry gets stuck in the crevices of the washer, reducing its efficiency significantly. The chemical build-up can lead to your washer’s life cycle reducing by a couple of years. Prevent it by maintaining your washing every other month.
Attend To Hoses
Washers are self-sufficient these days and don’t require much attention except for an occasional careful glance. But the most overlooked part of its maintenance is the hose. Ensure the hose is clean and squeaky, removing the excess build-up for its efficient functioning.
Clean Filters Regularly
Cleaning the filters of your washer is important as its life depends on how thoroughly and frequently you clean them. Run an empty cycle and rinse with hot water to keep the filters clean and working perfectly. Perform this exercise at least once a month.
