Maintenance
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 unit 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 the washer until it has had a chance to warm up. Water
from the previous cycle may remain.
Care of Your Washer
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some
cleaning products may harm the finish on the control panel or dam-
age the interior. DO NOT use products that contain alcohol on the
control panel. Wipe the panel dry after cleaning.
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 cabi-
net.
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 win-
dow cleaner.
Leave the door and dispenser drawer open slightly when not in use.
This will help keep them dry and prevent musty smells.
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 con-
tacts 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
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 every
six months. Clean or replace them if necessary.
If the washer is filling with water slower than normal, check the fil-
ter screens. Clean or replace them if necessary.
Order filter screen Part No. 803615 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 whenev-
er there will be an extended period of non-use.
Leave the loading door and dispenser drawer open during extended
periods of non-use to allow the wash drum and drawer to dry out
and avoid a musty smell.
