Maintenance

Lubrication

Cleaning Glass Sealing Area

All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of lubricant or are equipped with oilless bearings. Additional lubrication will not be necessary.

Cold Weather Care

If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not attempt to operate it until the washer has had a chance to warm up.

Care of Your Washer

In order to assure that the door properly seals against water leaks, the following surfaces should be wiped off periodically:

The outside perimeter of the door glass where the seal contacts the glass

The front surface of the door seal lip

Usually a mild soap solution will work. If there is an extreme build-up of minerals from a hard water supply, the surfaces may need to be cleaned with a lime removal chemical.

Replacing Hoses

Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some spray pretreat products may harm the finish on the control panel or damage the interior of the hood.

Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other washing products are spilled on the cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.

Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.

The wash drum and window will need no particular care although they may need rinsing or wiping after an unusual load has been washed.

The outside of the door window can be cleaned with household window cleaner.

Hoses and other natural parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the temperature and constant high pressure they are subjected to.

All hoses should be checked on a yearly basis for any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing the signs of deterioration listed above should be replaced immediately.

All hoses should be replaced every five years.
