It’s recommended that you regularly check your washing machine for leaks. You would do this by inspecting the water supply hose. One of the most popular claims to insurance companies are due to leaky washing machines. We recommend inspecting the washing machine water supply twice a year, and replacing the hoses every 3-4 years if they’re made of plastic.
Check the washing machine drain hose for discolouration or rust. If you see any of this, then we recommend replacing immediately. Also check how tight the drain lines are, using a pair of pliers.
If you have a dryer, then make sure to check the lint screen regularly. This is to prevent a fire. This not only prevents a potential fire, but also increases the life of the heating element.
