With winter not far round the corner and the great outdoors becoming darker, wetter and colder we’ll be ever more reliant on our tumble dryers. After your refrigerator a tumble dryer will typically use the most energy in your home, so it’s important to take the necessary steps to reduce drying time as much as possible. Obviously hanging clothes to dry is an effective, environmentally friendly alternative but for times when hanging to dry is simply not an option, or the lesser favoured one you can still follow some steps to use your tumble dryer most efficiently.

It was reported today that 5 children had been admitted to A & E after mistaking the brightly coloured washing and dishwashing machine tabs for sweets. Perhaps common sense, but if you happen to have these in your home be sure to store them away and out of reach from your children. They include some pretty bad-boy chemicals which can be lethal if ingested and not treated immediately.

It’s no secret that problems can arise if an underwire comes loose from its bra housing in the washing machine. If you’re lucky enough to find this still in the drum, good going. However, more often than not when these come out they make their way between the inner drum and outer tub. Now, this can go unnoticed for quite some time and can also inevitably cause serious damage to the washing machine – especially if you consider that a lot of washing machines now have plastic outer tubs. It can puncture a hole in the outer tub, scrape the drum, pierce the sump hose causing a leak, catch and tear other items of clothing, or even find its way to the pump and physically jam the pump impellor.

There are a number of reasons your washing machine might be leaking from the detergent drawer, the drawer housing, the door seal, the pump filter or pump. If you’ve got a leaky washing machine take a look at the video below where Mat helps to demonstrate exactly where the water might be leaking from.

We’ve added 4 new videos to the washing machine section of our Advice Centre which we hope you will find useful! All the demonstrations were completed on an LG washing machine which we’re pretty happy about as it’s the first time we’ve done any how-to videos for that brand. We’ve also added to, and improved our LG Spares range so take a look!

Wanna stack your washer and dryer to free up some space? Sure you do! I don’t know why but I’ve always loved these stacking kits. I think it’s the idea that something so simple and relatively inexpensive is just so darn helpful! A ‘Little Engine That Could’ perhaps type scenario. Some people will stack their machines without using a kit. However, this can prove somewhat treacherous as it puts the dryer at risk of being shaken from atop the washing machine. It can also be dangerous if you have children who might be inclined to reach up and open the dryer door, pulling the machine down. If you decide that you’d like to go the ‘stacking route’ there are just a few key things to keep in mind.

Another day, another most requested video. We had a lot of people writing in and asking for a video on how to replace the inlet valve in a washing machine. Inlet valves tend to become damaged after a bout of cold – water can freeze inside them, causing them to crack.

As promised last week, I’d like to welcome you to the world premiere (as in, it’s right here in this blog) of ‘How to replace the bearings in a washing machine‘. Early discussions about having Matt ‘blue up’ for the role were dismissed, and he decided to play it more or less straight. Anyways, it’s clearly the movie event of the year, so get the popcorn in, clear your schedule for the afternoon (it really is quite long) and enjoy.
