It keeps your clothes clean and fresh. But how long do you actually use a washing machine? And how do you make sure you get the most out of it? We tell you all about the average lifespan of a washing machine and how to extend it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average lifespan of a washing machine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most washing machines last between 10 and 15 years. How long your appliance will last depends on how you use it, which brand you choose and how well you maintain it. Do you spin often and with full loads? Then your machine will wear out faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-end brands like Miele and Bosch are known for their durability. Cheaper brands often deliver a shorter lifespan. So pay attention not only to price, but also to quality when buying a new washing machine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What influences the lifespan?<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>How often you wash<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you use the machine every day? Then it will wear out faster than if you only wash a few times a week. Try to balance use and only wash when you really need to.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>How heavily you wash<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t overload your drum. Loads that are too heavy cause wear and tear on the motor and drum. Stick to the machine&#8217;s recommended capacity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good maintenance makes a big difference. Clean the filter regularly and remove any dirt or limescale from the drum and rubber. Also check the detergent tray for accumulations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Water quality<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you live in an area with hard water? If so, your machine will suffer more from limescale. Use a water softener or an anti-scaling agent to prevent damage.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 Tips to prolong the life of your machine<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Clean your machine<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Run an empty wash once a month with a detergent or a dash of vinegar. This prevents grease lice and limescale.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Use less detergent<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overdosing causes build-up in the pipes. Stick to the recommended amount on the packaging.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Use a lighter drum<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overfilled drums put unnecessary strain on the bearings and motor. Leave space inside the machine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Keep the filters clean<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the filter regularly for lint or other debris. A clogged filter leads to overloading.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When does your washing machine need replacing?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is your washing machine no longer working properly? Do problems like leaks or broken parts keep coming back? Then it&#8217;s time to think about a new one. Repairs are sometimes more expensive than a new machine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to stop worrying about maintenance, repairs or replacing a washing machine altogether?
