Proper care and maintenance can extend the life and beauty of your home.
Select the area of your home from the left-hand menu.
Carefully read your manufacturer's guide to understand all recommended safety tips and operating procedures for your washer and dryer.
Care and Maintenance Tips
Dryer Maintenance
Clean the lint traps inside the dryer before every use. This will help the dryer work more efficiently.
Clean the lint traps and exhaust ducts outside the home monthly. This will help avoid a fire hazard and help dryer performance.
The outside of the appliance can be cleaned by wiping it down with a damp cloth. If you have a stainless steel finish, you can use a stainless steel cleaner as well.
Safety
Keep the area under and around the washer and dryer free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags or chemicals.
Do not leave washer or dryer doors open; this may entice children or pets to hang on the door or climb into the appliance.
Washer Maintenance
Clean the inside of the washer once/month by pouring 1 cup of bleach into the pre-wash section of the dispenser with no clothes in the washer, and run on the Basket Clean cycle. If your model does not have a Basket Clean cycle, you can just run on the Gentle cycle with a small water load.
The gasket around the washer door should be cleaned periodically to maintain a tight water seal. Follow manufacturer's instructions for properly cleaning the gasket.
The outside of the appliance can be cleaned by wiping it down with a damp cloth. If you have a stainless steel finish, you can use a stainless steel cleaner as well.
* If you are in a Condo residence please refer to your Condo Association Documents to verify your responsibilities, if any, for the maintenance of these areas.
