Bottom line:

If you notice at least one of these warning signs about your old washing machine, then you know that it’s time to change it. After you decide on a new model, call the technician to help you install it. Don’t forget that to keep a washing machine happy and alive for many years, you must follow some rules to protect it.

First, avoid overloading the washer because this forces it to work more than necessary and reduces its longevity. Follow the directions in the book, and weigh the clothes before stuffing them in if you can.
Secondly, you should frequently clean the washing machine, which involves running a cycle to clean the inside, wiping down the surfaces to remove all the residue from the laundry detergent, and also cleaning all the knobs and buttons.
