And it can easily damage the washing machine and the floor. Thus, you should always ensure to balance the LG washing machine or any other brand by turning the legs clockwise to lower it. You should also raise it by making it also counterclockwise.
- Clean the lint filter
Depending on the type of washing machine that you may have, the lint collector may be located in the agitator tube (the center columns of most machines or near the wash top tub). You should keep it clean to see your washer running efficiently.

- Measure the detergent that you use in your washing machine
Did you know that you should not use the excess amount of detergent in your LG washing machine or any other brand? Yes, if you keep doing that, it may lead to excessive wear and tear of your washing machine. To ensure that you are using the right amount of detergent in your respective type of washing machines, you should go through user manual at least once. Also, if you have a high-cost washing machine, then it may require special detergent. Therefore, you should get it and not use normal detergent if you want it to run for years to come.

You should always ensure to use the appropriate or the recommended amount of water for the size of the load that you intend to wash each time. You should not overload the washer and always wash bulky or heavy items in small loads. It is because these are harder on the washing machine, which may gradually slow down its performance.
