Maintenance
User-Maintenance Instructions
Lubrication
All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of lubricant or are equipped with oilless bearings. Additional lubrication will not be necessary.
Do not lubricate the door hinge. If the hinge makes noise, replace the hinge.
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
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some cleaning product sprays may harm the finish on the control panel or damage the interior.
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 will need no particular care although it
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.
Replacing Hoses
Hoses and other natural rubber 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 monthly 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.
Filter Screens
Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for debris or damage annually. Clean or replace them if necessary.
If the washer is filling with water slower than normal, check the filter screens. Clean or replace them if necessary.
Order filter screen Part No. F270300 from the nearest authorized parts distributor.
Vacations and Extended Non-Use
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage due to flooding, turn off the water supply to the washer whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.
Leave the loading door open during extended periods of non-use to allow the wash drum to dry out and avoid a musty smell.
Running an occasional rinse cycle with bleach will help to avoid a musty smell in the wash drum.
Cleaning Glass Sealing Area
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 wi th a lime removal chemical.
