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, re-
place the hinge.

Cold Weather Care

If the unit is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stor-
ed 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 damage the interior. DO NOT use products that con-
tain 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 imme-
diately. Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled
on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on control
panel or cabinet.
The wash drum will need no particular care although it may
need rinsing or wiping after an unusual load has been wash-
ed.
The outside of the door window can be cleaned with house-
hold window 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
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

Hoses and other 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 deteriora-
tion listed above should be replaced immediately. All hoses
should be replaced every five years.
Flood safe hoses often can be the cause for no fill or slow fill
issues. They are not recommended. Only use replacement fill
hoses from the manufacturer.

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 filter screens. Clean or replace them if necessary.
Order filter screen Part No. 803615 from the nearest author-
ized 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 and dispenser drawer open during ex-
tended periods of non-use to allow the wash drum and drawer
to dry out and avoid a musty smell.
