DAMPER ASSEMBLY
The damper assembly consists of a
damper, tub support arms and cen-
tering springs.
Damper Pads
Dry or poorly lubricated damper pads
can result in a rubbing noise during the
beginning and end of the spin cycle. If
this condition is encountered, the
damper pads should be lubricated or
replaced.
When you order damper pads and/or a
damper or a base, a quantity of silicone
grease is also provided. The quantity is
sufficient to lubricate the three damper
pads. The silicone grease should be
applied by hand and should thoroughly
cover each pad. Over lubrication is not
necessary. Although only a small
amount of grease is furnished in the
container, it is adequate to do the job.

1. Disconnect unit from power source.
