Front Load Washer - Maintenance Tips

  • Leave the loading door open during extended periods of non-use to allow the wash drum to dry out and avoid a musty smell.
  • Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for debris or damage annually. Clean or replace them if necessary.
  • Check all hoses on a monthly basis for any visible signs of deterioration such as cracks, blisters or material wear. Replace immediately any hoses showing these signs.
  • Unload the machine promptly after each completed cycle to prevent moisture buildup. Leave the loading door open after each completed cycle to allow moisture to evaporate.
  • Clean the dispenser drawer. Pour hot water into the drawer, making sure it flushes through each compartment. Use a small brush to thoroughly clean out any residue.
  • NOTE: Disconnect power to the machine before performing the following procedures.
  • Check the foreign object trap in the pump. Clean Foreign Object Trap. Verify that the drain pump/valve is operating and that the drain receptacle is free from obstruction. Wipe dry any excess water on the base that may have come out during this procedure.
  • Clean and remove foreign objects that have accumulated between the door seal and clothes guard. 
  • Clean the lint from the motor with compressed air.
  • Make sure washer is level from side to side and front to back.
