Washing Machines & Dryers

What do I need to know about Washing Machines??

Did you know...

Morris DIY is stocked with a variety of popular Washing Machine brands including Belling, Nordmende, Bosch, Indesit and more all at great value.

You will find these in our Expert department along with other kitchen appliances.

Some FAQs we tend to get are:

Q: Does my washing machine have a quick wash?

A: Almost all washing machines will have a quick wash setting, however they are set for smaller loads only, usually 3kg and not a full load.

Q: How much does a 7kg washing machine load?

A: It is very important not to overload your washing machine as this can damage it. 1kg is equal to 1 pair of jeans and a shirt or 5 t-shirts. So, a 7kg washing machine could wash 35 t-shirts.

Q: What is the best spin speed for a washing machine?

A: The higher the spin speed the more water will be removed from your load at the end of the cycle. However, the higher the spin speed also means that it can do more damage to your clothes. Most washing machines are a 1200/1400 spin speed as this suits most washing machines.

Q: My washing machine is making a very loud noise on first use?

A: Make sure that you have removed the transport bolts as it can cause damage to the machine if you do not. You will see instructions to do this on your manual.

Q: How often should I clean my washing machine?

A: If you use your washing machine everyday then it should be cleaned every 2 weeks. Otherwise, once a month is suitable. You can clean it by running a hot wash (above 60 degrees) on empty or by selecting the drum clean program if your washing machine has one.

Some FAQs we tend to get are:

Q: What are the 3 types of dryer?

A: Vented – Uses a vent to take away moisture from the clothes. It is the fastest way to dry items but also the most expensive.

 Condenser - Uses a drawer to catch the moisture, which you need to empty. It takes a little longer to dry items but it is more energy efficient and reliable.

Heat pump – Reuses and recycles the hot air making it the most energy efficient but also takes the longest to dry items. It is recommended that heat pumps be used with full loads only.

Q: Can I stack my dryer on top of my washing machine?

A: As a general rule you would need to have a good stacking kit and the width and depth measurements match up then you can stack the dryer on top of your washing machine.

Q: How often should I clean my dryer?

A: If you have a condenser dryer or a heat pump dryer then you should clean the filter in the drum  after every use and the filter below once every 2 weeks.
