Do your clothes constantly shrink when you wash them? Do your clothes have an odd odor after each wash? The issue may not be a lack of laundry skills on your part but rather a damaged washer and dryer.

Damage to an expensive appliance is already a major issue, but when it interferes with washing and drying your clothes, it adds another problem to the mix. Fortunately, we can assist you in determining whether this is truly a problem for you. We’ll also show you how to fix it in this blog.

How A Damaged Washer And Dryer Can Ruin Your Laundry

It may seem unlikely that your washer or dryer is damaged if it seems to be running smoothly. However, this can be a facade.  Your appliance can be dealing with a slew of issues.

Perhaps your washer’s spinning function has stopped working. Maybe the ventilation is out of whack. If issues like these arise, you will immediately notice problems with your clothes after a wash. Here is how a damaged washer and dryer can ruin your laundry:

Ineffective Washes

If you’ve noticed your clothes coming out of the washer with stains and harsh odors, this is a telltale sign that your washer didn’t do its job properly. The stain is probably not so bad that it won’t wash out. Wherever that odor came from, it probably won’t last after an hour of washing with detergent. The issue is most likely a malfunctioning washing machine. You could have clogged filters, overloaded your washer, or there could be a faulty component.

No Spin Cycle

It can be irritating to attempt to take your clothes out of your washer only for them to be soaking wet. Now you have water rolling down your arms and more drying to do, which could cut into your personal time. This problem is most likely due to your washer not spinning and draining as it should.

Improper Heat Control

Clothes shrinking after time in the dryer is a surefire way to infuriate you. Not only will all of your money for those clothes disappear in an instant, but you will also have to deal with your dryer problem. All of this is due to your dryer’s improper heat control. The high temperatures from your dryer will damage the fibers in fabrics, causing them to shrink or even stretch.

Poor Ventilation

Does a strange odor emanate from your clothes after doing laundry? This might be due to poor ventilation. Your washer and dryer can have poor ventilation when the vents are blocked, or there are damaged components. This is why you need to clean your appliances and be careful not to overload them. If you neglect to do so, you will only promote the growth of mildew or mold. This fungus will result in respiratory issues and many other hazardous health conditions.
