Keeping up on maintenance helps increase the life span of your washer and dryer.
- Ensure that the washing machine legs are adjusted for a level installation by turning the legs counterclockwise to raise and clockwise to lower.
- Make sure the water level of each wash load is appropriate for the volume of clothes. Do not overload the machine.
- Remove and clean the lint screen after each drying cycle has been completed.
- Use a vacuum cleaner to clean behind and underneath both the washer and dryer at least once every three months.
- Annually check the lint vent and make sure it is not blocked.
