The document provides an overview of washing machines, including their history, components, processes, and tips. It discusses how washing machines have evolved from manual washing on rocks to modern machines with microchips and smartphone controls. The key components of a washing machine are described, such as the inner and outer tubs, plumbing, drive mechanism, and pump. The washing process involves filling, agitating, draining, rinsing, and spinning cycles. Tips are provided on pre-treating stains, choosing the right water temperature, and avoiding detergent residue. Common problems like not spinning or draining and solutions are also summarized.
4. Cleaning clothes on
hard rocks or scrubbing
them in rivers or lakes.
James King discovered
the 1st hand powered

by Alva J. Fisher
The first microchip-controlled
automatic washing machine
was produced
In 1908 By early 1950s In 1958
Washing machines with spin dry
feature were produced. In 1951,

7. Depending on the total automatic features,
this type is also classified as:
Semi-automatic washing machine: This
has separate tubs or vessels for the washer
and the drier.
Fully automatic washing machine: there
is only one tub that serves as the washer,
rinser as well as the drier.

13. Plumbing
It fills the washing machine with the correct
temperature of water.
• It recirculates the wash water from the bottom of
the wash tub back to the top (during the wash
cycle).
• It pumps water out the drain (during the spin
cycle).
14. Drive mechanism
To agitate the clothes, moving them back and forth inside the wash tub.
To spin the entire wash tub, forcing the water out.
24. Pre-treat obvious stains
• Act fast and rinse stains in cold water
before they have a chance to set.
• Check the fabric before removing any
stain. Do not rub stains as rubbing may
push the stain further into the fabric.
• Avoid hot water on an unknown stain -
hot water sets many stains.
• Avoid the use of any chlorine bleach
unless the garment tag says it may be
used.
Washing
tips
25. Washing
tipsChoose the right water temperature
• Cold (20°C) Ideal for fabrics that might shrink or fade in warm water and
recommended for typical wash-and-wear items. Cold Power liquid and powder
is specially formulated for cold water washing.
• Warm (35°C) Recommended for permanent press items including light
to medium colors.
• Hot (55°C) Provides maximum cleaning for items that can stand hot
water without losing color or shrinking.
26. Washing
tipsAvoiding detergent residue
• Detergent residue is often the result of
detergent not being properly dissolved before
the wash. In other cases, placing washing on
the surface of a full machine before adding
detergent can cause air pockets to form under
the washload.
Lumps of powdered detergent are
more difficult to dissolve.To prevent
lumpiness, store your powdered detergents in
a dry area to avoid moisture pick-up

There are usually
different causes for
noisy machines:
The rattling
