When replacing the agitator,
carefully lower it straight down
onto the agitator support block and
replace the cap securely.
Dryer
If your dryer is exhausted to the
outside, inspect and clean the dryer
exhaust ducting at least once a
year.
How to reduce the possibility of
a fire hazard, if your dryer is not
exhausted to the outside:
A clothes dryer produces combustible
lint. When the dryer is not exhausted
to the outside, this lint is more apt
to accumulate in and near the dryer,
which could create a fire hazard.
