Tips for Washers

Use these Handy tips to make sure that your washers are as efficient, clean and durable as possible.

  • Check your filter screens in the fill hoses for debris or damage annually. Clean or replace them as necessary to ensure a consistent, high quality clean. 
  • Check all hoses on a monthly basis for any visible signs of deterioration such as cracks, blisters or material wear. Immediately replace any hoses showing these signs.
  • During extended periods of non-use, leave the washer loading door open to avoid a musty smell. 

 

Tips for Dryers

Use these Handy tips to ensure that your dryers are operating at 100%.

  • Check the cylinder daily for foreign objects to avoid damage to clothing or other equipment. 
  • Clean any lint from the lint compartment and screen daily to maintain proper airflow and avoid overheating. Remove lint and debris from inside the exhaust duct monthly to maintain proper airflow and avoid overheating. 
  • Thoroughly clean the dryer annually. You may want an authorised service agent to perform this maintenance. 
  • Inspect the outside weather hood frequently to ensure the dampers move freely, dampers are not pushed in and nothing has been set against them.
