Washing Machines
Replace hoses if they’ve not been changed out in 5 years or longer. Also check the following to make sure you don’t see any damage, cracks or other issues.
- Bearings
- Common problematic areas for leaks
- Door gasket
- Door lock
- Drive belts
- Water inlet hoses
Dryers
Also check the following on dryers, as well. Make sure there are no cracks, leaks, grime buildup or problems with the following areas:
- Bearings
- Drive belts
- Electrical connections with electric heat units
- Exhaust system
- Fire suppression system
- Lint trap
- Steam trap on steam heated units
Below, you'll find some helpful information that should convince you to keep machines cleaned and maintained. Robert Barile is a sales manager from Speed Queen. Here, he talks about the importance of routine maintenance:
"Most manufacturers provide preventative maintenance lists detailing which tasks should be performed on a regular basis. For issues such as water being unable to move in or out of the machine, an attendant should look to clear debris from a drain or fill valve. Owners/attendants should be able to follow lubrication per manufacturer instructions and execute the removal of lint buildup on dryers, coin drops, control compartments, computer or output relay boards and motor-cooling vents. In general, maintenance surrounding electrical components should be handled by a factory-trained technician. For example, most large replacement components require specialized tools and training, such as main bearings, cylinders, motor, and suspension systems. Solid state computer controls or inverter drives also require specialized tuning equipment and knowledge."
These tips can help you keep your commercial laundry equipment clean and well maintained all year long. You can also apply the same tips to your residential units, as well.
We hope this information helps you with not only your spring maintenance, but also your year round processes for ensuring machines are cleaned and well taken care of! If you missed our previous blog, visit back with it for more information!
