How to clean and maintain an automatic washing machine extractor?

Automatic washer extractors play an important role in daily use. In order to ensure their long-term and efficient operation, regular cleaning and maintenance are important links that cannot be ignored. If they are not cleaned for a long time, the dehydration part of the washing machine may accumulate dirt, bacteria and even produce odors, which will affect the cleaning effect of the clothes and may also cause the machine to operate more efficiently. Therefore, the correct cleaning method and daily maintenance measures can effectively extend the service life and maintain the stability of the dehydration function.
When cleaning the dehydrator, you need to pay attention to the inside of the washing tub first. Since there will be residues of laundry detergent, fabric fibers and scale during the washing process, stains and mold are likely to form over time, affecting the hygiene of the clothes. In order to avoid this situation, the washing tub needs to be cleaned regularly. You can choose to use mild detergents and avoid using chemicals that are too irritating to prevent damage to the internal materials of the washing machine. During the cleaning process, you can soak it with a reasonable water temperature and an appropriate amount of detergent to soften the dirt, and then start the washing machine's cleaning program and let it rotate fully to completely remove the accumulated stains inside.
In addition to the inside of the washing tub, the outside and bottom of the dehydration tub also need to be cleaned regularly. A lot of dirt will accumulate in the gaps of the barrel wall or near the drainage holes at the bottom. These places are often easily overlooked, which may cause drainage obstruction in the long run and even affect the operation of the machine. Therefore, you can use a soft rag or brush to wipe to ensure that these areas are clean and tidy. When cleaning, avoid using hard tools to prevent scratching the surface of the barrel wall, affecting its smoothness and service life.
The filter is another key part. It is mainly used to collect impurities on clothes, such as fluff, paper scraps, etc., to prevent these impurities from entering the drainage system and causing blockage. If the filter is not cleaned for a long time, it may affect the smoothness of the water flow and even cause abnormalities in the washing machine during the dehydration process. Therefore, regular inspection and cleaning of the filter can effectively reduce the occurrence of these problems. When cleaning, first remove the filter, gently pat off the impurities attached to the surface, then rinse with clean water to keep it unobstructed, and finally dry it before reinstalling it.
The maintenance of the drainage pipe is equally important. After long-term use, the drain pipe may accumulate dirt or even become blocked, resulting in poor drainage and affecting the dehydration effect. Therefore, during regular maintenance, you need to check whether the drain pipe is unobstructed and whether there is any dirt accumulation. If you find that the drainage is slow, you can use a mild detergent to flush the pipe to ensure smooth water flow. At the same time, in daily use, try to avoid putting too much dirt, paper towels and other debris into the washing machine with clothes to reduce the impact on the drainage system.
