What Gets Fixed on a Charlottesville Washer Call
Care Frigidaire Recommends for Its Washers
- Use new fill hoses with rubber washers, replace flood-safe hoses with standard washer hoses, and run both faucets before connecting to flush debris away from the valve screens. Source: Frigidaire - Laundry Water Supply Guide
- Use the recommended detergent amount and keep dispenser compartments below the max line, since excess detergent slows draining. Source: Frigidaire - What should I do if my washer is draining slowly?
