Can I open the washer while it's running to put in or take out clothes?
Most of the time, you shouldn't open the washing machine in the middle of a cycle to put in or take out clothes, as this can cause water to spill out or stop the washing cycle. But some washing machines have a "pause" or "add clothes" button that stops the cycle so you can add or take out clothes.
If your washing machine has a "pause" or "add clothes" button, you can use it to stop the cycle and add or take out clothes. Read the manual for your washing machine to find out how to use this feature.
If your washing machine doesn't have a way to stop the cycle or add more clothes, you should wait until the cycle is done before adding or taking out clothes. If you need to take clothes out of the washing machine in the middle of a cycle because of an emergency, you should turn off the machine and wait a few minutes to let the water settle before opening the door.

How to clean your washer:
Run a maintenance cycle. Some washing machines have a cycle that cleans the drum and gets rid of any buildup. The manual for your washing machine will tell you how to use the self-cleaning cycle.
You can clean the drum by hand if your washing machine doesn't have a self-cleaning cycle. Start by putting no clothes in the washer and running a hot water cycle. Add a cup of white vinegar to the drum. Use a sponge or cloth to clean the inside of the drum and door after the cycle is done.
To clean the soap dispenser, take it out of the washing machine and wash it in warm, soapy water. Use a toothbrush or small brush to clean places that are hard to get to.
Some washing machines have a filter that can get clogged up with lint and other things. The manual for your washing machine will tell you how to clean the filter.
Wipe down the outside: Use a damp cloth to clean the top, sides, and control panel of the washing machine's outside.
By doing these things, you can help your washing machine stay clean and work well.
