Oxford Service Appliance Repairs provide some helpful tips on washing machine care.
WASHING RUBBER MATS
Washing rubber backed mats can cause problems by putting added strain on a washer and possibly causing unbalanced loads. In addition, the rubber backing can break down and separate, infiltrating the wash system clogging hoses, pumps, filters and valves. At the first sign of wear of the backing, you should discontinue washing it.
WATER LEAKS
Any water leak should be tended to immediately. Water can damage bearings, motors and even the transmission. First look for leaking hoses, if you cannot determine where the leak is, call a washing machine service technician.

STRANGE NOISES
Unusual noises should be tended to quickly. A squealing or grinding noise may lead to a water leak or more extensive damage.

Heavy clothing such as jeans and towels should be spread out over two or more loads. These fabrics absorb lots of water and can put added strain on the machine.
