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.
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 spray pretreat
products may harm the finish on the control
panel or damage the interior of the hood.
• 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 and window will need no
particular care although they 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.
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 natural 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 yearly 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.
