Washing machines are not built to last forever. The general estimate for the lifespan of a residential washing machine is between 10 and 15 years. The sheer number of gallons of water a washing machine cycles is astounding, but as long as you know the signs of a failing washing machine before it totally taps out, you’ll be able to prepare.
Common signs that your washing machine may need replacing include leaks from the drum and piping, along with musty and moldy odors. If your washing machine bangs around or makes loud noises frequently, this can also be a good indicator that it’s time to start looking for a replacement. If your washing machine is nowhere near 10 years old and is showing signs of problems, get in touch with the manufacturer or a repair specialist via HomePro Match.
