My washing machine smells, what can I do about it? Verified

There are washing machines with self-cleaning features. If these features are not available it's possible to add 100ml of white vinegar or 100gr of soda crystals and have the washing machine run a 90 ℃ program.

This was helpful (3543) Read more

Can I connect my washing machine to a warm water outlet? Verified

Although washing machines can probably handle water intake up to 65°C, this is not recommended by most manufacturers. There are wash cycles that specifically make use of cold water.

What is the difference in usage between a washer-dryer and a separate washing machine and dryer? Verified

This was helpful (1095) Read more

In general it is possible to directly stack a dryer and washing machine directly on top of each other. This only works with front loading models. However, it is advisable to use a fitting accessory to do so. This will prevent the machines from vibrating and falling off and also prevents damage to the bottom machine.

Can I connect a washing machine to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a washing machine, can not be connected to all extension cords.

There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.
