A washing machine is built for years of use, but warning signs shouldn’t be ignored. If the washer shakes violently, leaks water, or leaves detergent residue, these indicate mechanical or drainage issues.
Unbalanced loads and worn suspension springs are common causes of shaking. Leaks often come from damaged door seals or loose hoses. Detergent residue means the inlet valves or pump filters need cleaning.
Strange noises such as grinding or knocking suggest a worn bearing or motor coupling. Running the unit in that condition can lead to total failure.
