13. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

Preventive maintenance has been reduced to a minimum by the careful design of the machine, and the
choice of reliable components and materials.
ALWAYS FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE!
Although the washer may be "off", there still may be electrical power in the washer.
When power supply has been switched off wait for at least 10 minutes before starting inspection or
servicing the machine. The frequency inverter will carry voltage for a long time after power has been
removed. Before starting inspection of frequency inverter, check for residual voltage across main
circuit terminals + and -. This voltage must be below 30VDC before you can access the inverter for
inspection

13.1. DAILY

See User manual for details

13.2. EVERY SIX MONTHS

• Clean the door lip seal of any remaining detergent or foreign matter. Rotate the door seal 90° clockwise.
• Remove back panel of the washer(s) in order to check for belt tension and wear.
• Check motor fixation system and clean lint from motor.
• Make sure there are no water leaks at all tubing and piping connections.
• Check and clean the air vent opening and overflow.
• Wipe clean the inside of the washer (not the tumbler), making sure that the control components are
protected from moisture and dust during the cleaning operation.
• Check anchor bolts and nuts securing machine to foundation. Retighten if necessary.
• Check and tighten grounding connections.
• Check and tighten contactor terminal screws and inspect connections in control panel area.
• Check drains. Water should drain in approximately 30 seconds or less. If not, the laundry drain system
should be examined.
• Check the water pressure during different cycles. A slow fill could be the result of a dirty, or plugged inlet
screens. Clean the water inlet filters.
• Check and clean cooling plate and fins of inverter for lint and dirt between cooling fins.
• If an inverter fan is present remove dust and dirt and insure that it runs freely.
• Reinstall all panels and safety guards after maintenance, then turn the electrical power and water supply
back "ON."
• Contact your commercial distributor for any malfunction or necessary service interventions you may have
detected during maintenance.

13.3. ADJUSTMENT OF DOOR SEAL PRESSURE

In course of the years or by replacement, is it sometimes necessary to adjust the door seal pressure, in the
case that the door seal pressure is too high or too low. Before disassemble, mark the position of the parts, it
will simplify the assembly and have the parts back in correct position.
The first step is to find out where door pressure is too high or low, at hinge or doorlock side. The following
procedure will help determinate which side. The procedure is only valid if the hinge system runs freely and is
in good condition.
- Clean the door lip seal of any remaining detergent or foreign matter and check if the door lip seal is in good
conditions.
- Set the door handle in closed position when the door is open
- Push slowly the handle to the brass roller and release slowly the pressure.
- In case the door handle bottom stay against the roller or moves backwards only 1/25" / 1mm, the door
pressure is low on hinge side.
- In case the door handle bottom moves backwards between 1/25" / 1mm to 1/2" / 12 mm, the door pressure
is good at hinge side.
- In case the door handle bottom moves backwards more than 1/2" / 12 mm, the door pressure is too high at
hinge side.
Between the hinge and the door are 1 or more adjustment shims.
- If the door pressure at hinge side was too low you need to remove one (1) shim.
- If the door pressure at the hinge side was too high you need to add one (1) shim.
