Ever wondered how your clothes are actually cleaned in the washing machine? The whirlpool washer transmission is an important part of a washing machine. The cleaning happens in the washer drum! Imagine a giant, round tub that spins around, allowing it to scour your clothes clean.
The top load washer transmission fills up with water once you add soap and your dirty clothes. The soap moves with the water, and your clothes get washed. The friction between the clothes and between the clothes and the sides of the drum removes dirt and stains, leaving your clothes fresh and clean.
There are also tiny holes inside the washer drum that allow the water and soap to enter and come and go. These holes also drain out dirty water after the washing is done. Certain washer drums are fitted with paddles or fins that cycle the clothes, ensuring all items receive adequate cleaning.
If you want to keep your washer drum functioning properly, you should clean it regularly. You can do a cycle with hot water and vinegar to get rid of any remaining dirt or odour. You might be checking the drum for things like small items (coins and buttons) that could get stuck in the washer and do some damage to the washer. Keeping your washer drum in good shape will make it last longer and help keep your clothes clean.
When you’re shopping for a new washing machine, you may notice that there’s a difference in the drum sizes for different models. How much laundry you can wash at once is determined by the size of the washer drum. A larger drum lets you wash more clothes at once — this is ideal for larger families or lots to wash. A smaller drum is better for one person or smaller families. Consider how much laundry you do when choosing a washer drum size so you get enough capacity.
