MCC Service Tips

Water and Chemical Damage to Washers

Leaking or damaged water and chemical lines are an ongoing risk to your equipment that may, over time, cause accumulated damage and premature wear to your washer.

We recommend you inspect your washer daily to check for any water and chemical leaks. If you have a chemical leak, ask your chemical representative to quickly make the repairs. Tubing and connection parts can and do wear out.

Leaky chemicals are often corrosive, which can cause your machine to rust and can damage parts in the machine such as water valves and electronics.

Water leaks at the door seal, at valves and at drains can cause the same kind of damage and can cause shorts in the machine. Water can short out circuit boards, damage water valves, drain valves, and control fuses. Leaking water can rust out your machine very quickly.

An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure!

Take a look at these pictures to see what can happen. Photos show chemical and water damaged rear-mounted supply chute, damaged shell mounted supply inlet and severe water damage and rusting on a machine bolt down base. (The damage to the washer frame was so severe the washer had to be replaced.)

Call the MCC Service line with any questions about your water or chemical leaks: 651-288-4857
