People are just discovering what the catch is for on their washing machines – & it’s blowing their minds

A WOMAN has left people on TikTok stunned after revealing what the catch on the front of their washing machines is for.

Amberle Buss reacted to a video from Lauryn Emily in which she explained that anyone with a front-loading washing machine should splash out on a magnet which holds the door open, to prevent mould and nasty smells.


But stitching the video, Amberle shook her head and exclaimed "No!" as she went over to her own washing machine to demonstrate how she keeps the door open.

On the front of the washing machine, where the door catch is, is also another part, which pulls out and acts as a lever to stop the door from closing.

In the comments section, people were left stunned by the clever hack, with one writing: "*RUNS TO WASHING MACHINE*"

"I worked for an appliance store for 5 years!! How did I not know this!" someone else questioned.

"who went to check their washing machine? lol," a third wrote.

And other people questioned why the door needs to be left open at all, with one person then explaining: "If your machine is used daily then no need at all.

"If your machine is used maybe once a week then it will smell with the water left in it."

"I just do a boil wash each week for my whites / sterilises the whole machine," someone else wrote.
