Weekly
1. For variable-speed models only, clean the AC
drive box filter(s) weekly or more frequently as
needed:
NOTE: If fan filter service indicator light is on, fan
filter must be cleaned immediately to prevent
possible damage. Thermostat automatically resets
after drive compartment cools down. LED will then
extinguish after cycle run.
IMPORTANT: If filter indicator is ignored,
repeated resets might shorten life of drive. Clean
filter regularly to avoid indicator prompt.
a. Open the top cover.
b. Grasp the filter handle and pull straight up to
remove filter.
c. Wash the filter with warm water and allow
filter to air dry. As an alternative, the filter
may be vacuumed clean.
IMPORTANT: The control module cover and fan
filter must be in place for the fan to properly cool
the AC inverter drive. Failure to observe this
warning will void the warranty and could lead to
expensive AC inverter drive repair.
2. Check the machine for leaks.
a. Start an unloaded cycle to fill the machine.
b. Verify that door and door gasket do not leak.
c. Verify that the drain valve is operating and
that the drain system is free from obstruction.
If water does not leak out during the first wash
segment, the drain valve is closed and
functioning properly.
Monthly
NOTE: Disconnect power to the machine at its
source before performing the monthly maintenance
procedures.
1. Use the following procedures to determine if
V-belt(s) require replacement or adjustment. Call
a qualified service technician in either case.
a. Check V-belt(s) for uneven wear and frayed
edges.
b. For groove-pulley drive systems, verify
alignment by placing a straightedge across
both pulley faces. The straightedge should
make contact with the pulleys in four places.
Refer to Figure 15.
