FRONT LOAD WASHERS:
Front-load washers are designed for high efficiency operation while using low energy. Unfortunately, they can represent a challenge to the homeowner, and ultimately those in the moving industry when moving these machines. Some consumers have experienced mildew or unpleasant odors developing. Once present, these issues can be quite difficult to resolve. A little TLC and proper maintenance may prevent such occurrences. Not all front-load washers have this problem. Some manufacturers have made design modifications to prevent, or at least reduce the risk of this type of problem.
What may cause this mildew or odor in front load washers that does not normally occur in top load machines? Front load washers use low water levels. This can lead to wash residue (such as grime, dirt and even skin flakes), and water softeners and detergents not always fully draining out of the washer. Using cold water for most loads can also add to the problem. Residue can build up in the rubber door gasket, soap/softener dispenser or other parts of the washer and mildew can
begin to form.
Tips for Preventing Mildew and Odor Problems
Both the manufacturers and the appliance industry at large have suggested
a number of Tips and suggestions. Some of the most common are:
• Always leave the door and dispenser unit slightly ajar after the
laundry is done.
*Frequently check the gasket just inside the door opening, remove any visible debris, and wipe
to speed the drying process.
• Never leave a wet wash-load in the washer overnight.
• After a load is done, always rotate the drum with your hand to see and remove all items.
• Follow the manufacturers guidelines for the proper detergents and fabric softener.
• Occasionally wash some loads such as whites in warm or hot water to help flush out wash
residue.
• Always clean your washer as directed by your product manual.
COLD WEATHER & YOUR APPLIANCES:
Washers: Even when the pump is drained at origin, the washer will always maintain some water in the mixer valve, pump housing and internal hose areas. Attempting to operate the machine while this water is frozen can result in damage to belts, pump impeller, hoses and other components. Operating temperature should be above 60°F.
Gas & Electric Dryers: When subject to freezing temperatures, igniters and heating elements become brittle. Attempting to operate the dryer will cause a sudden temperature change and may damage internal parts. Operating temperature should be above 60°F.
Refrigerators Icemaker: A refrigerator may be plugged in on delivery day. The icemaker, however, should not be connected to the water supply for at least 12 24 hours after delivery. Residual moisture in the solenoid valve, supply lines and cold-water reservoir may be frozen and will restrict normal operation. If the cold water reservoir was not drained at origin, it may be frozen solid and damaged. Hairline cracks in the water reservoir housing may go undetectedon delivery day. It is prudent to let all components of the icemaker system reach operating temperature so a thoroughsystem check can be completed after hooking up the water supply.
Water Softeners/Reverse Osmosis Systems: Residual water in supply tanks will freeze during winter and units will not operate properly until thawed. The units should be allowed to reach room temperature before installation.

TV's/PC's/AUDIO VIDEO EQUIPMENT: Condesation caused by extreme temperature changes can wreak havoc on high tech circuitry of todays electronics. PC's, VCR's, Blue Rays, TV's, Stereos, etc must acclimate to room temperature for at least 24 hours prior the equipment to connecting to AC power.
ELECTRONICS - MOVING PREPARATION
TV's/PC's/Audio Video Equipment. Many TV's are now flat screen plasma or LCD HDTV's. These TV's require special preparation for relocation. Most often your mover will make arrangements on your behalf to hace the TV's crated or placed into TV Armour Containers. This service is usually performed by a Third Party Service company whose charges will show on your relocation bill. The Third Party Service Technicians specialize in this area of relocation. If you decide that you do not want to incur the additional cost for properly preparing your TV's and varios electronics for your relocation, your mover will not accept responsibility if there is any damage to the TV's, etc. either visual or mechanical.
It is your responsibility to disconnect all audio video equipment prior to the arrival of the packing crew and/or Third Party Specialist. If you prefer that the Specialist perform the disconnect, there is an extra charge for this service. Your mover will not reconnect these items in your new home. It is your responsibility to reconnect these items or ask your mover to make arrangements with the Third Party Company. Be mindful of the "Cold Weather" warning when you reconnect your audio video equipment.
