Overview

This document is a user manual for a Frigidaire Gallery Tumble Action Washer, providing comprehensive information on its operation, maintenance, and warranty.

Function Description:

The Frigidaire Gallery Tumble Action Washer is a household appliance designed for washing clothes. Unlike traditional vertical-axis washers, this model uses a tumble action, which is a key operational feature highlighted in the instructional video and guide. It is designed to efficiently clean various types of laundry while offering features to prevent common washing problems and ensure fabric care.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific technical specifications like dimensions, weight, or motor power are not explicitly listed in the provided pages, the manual details several operational aspects that imply certain technical characteristics:

  • Water Temperature: The washer supports various water temperatures for different fabric types, with a recommendation for hot water at least 130°F (70°C) for optimal cleaning.
  • Water Pressure: A minimum water pressure of 30 psi (260 kPa) is required for proper operation.
  • Electrical Requirements: The washer requires a properly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. It is equipped with an electrical overload protector that will stop the motor if it overheats and automatically restart it after a cool-down period of up to 30 minutes.
  • Drain Hose Standpipe Height: The drain hose standpipe must be a minimum of 23.6" (60 cm) high to prevent siphoning.
  • Detergent Dispenser Capacity: The liquid chlorine bleach compartment has a maximum fill of 1/3 cup (80 mL).
  • Warranty Lengths:
    • Full One-Year Warranty: Covers labor and replacement parts for defects in materials or workmanship.
    • Limited 2nd-5th Year Warranty: Covers replacement parts for the motor, driven pulley, or motor controller.
    • Limited 2nd-25th Year Warranty: Covers replacement parts for an inner wash basket (excludes Alaska).

Usage Features:

The washer offers a range of features designed for user convenience and effective laundry care:

  • Automatic Dispenser Drawer: This drawer allows for the addition of detergent, liquid chlorine bleach, and fabric softener at the appropriate times during the wash cycle. It supports both powdered and liquid detergents.
  • Cycle Selector Knob: Users can set the wash cycle, size, and soil level for each load using this knob.
  • Door Lock Mechanism: For safety, the washer door automatically locks during the entire wash cycle, indicated by a "Door Lock" light. It will remain locked until the cycle ends, or after a 1-2 minute delay during a spin cycle if the knob is pushed in.
  • Load Balancing: The manual advises combining large and small items and adding similar items to single heavy items to prevent out-of-balance loads.
  • Stain Removal Guide: A detailed chart provides specific treatments for various types of stains, emphasizing prompt action and proper product usage.
  • Pretreatment Options: The washer supports pretreating stains and heavy soil using prewash products, liquid detergent, or a paste of granular detergent and water.
  • Fabric Care Guidelines: Instructions are provided for sorting laundry by water temperature, colorfastness, lint shedding, and soil level. Specific advice is given for delicate items (using a mesh bag) and knit items (turning inside out to prevent pilling).
  • Safety Precautions: The manual includes warnings against washing items with flammable substances, mixing certain laundry products, and allowing children to play with the washer. It also provides instructions for handling hydrogen gas accumulation in hot water systems.
  • Instructional Video: An included video highlights unique features of the tumble action washer, particularly helpful for users transitioning from vertical-axis models.

Maintenance Features:

Regular maintenance is crucial for the washer's longevity and performance:

  • Dispenser Drawer Cleaning: The dispenser drawer and its inserts should be cleaned once or twice a month to remove detergent and fabric softener residue. This involves sliding a safety latch, pulling out the drawer, removing inserts, rinsing with hot tap water, and cleaning the drawer opening with a small brush.
  • Cabinet and Drum Cleaning: The exterior should be wiped with a damp cloth, and the cabinet cleaned with mild soap and water. Stains on the door or console can be cleaned with diluted chlorine bleach. The drum interior should be wiped with a nonabrasive household cleanser, especially after washing heavily soiled items, to remove residue and prevent dye transfer.
  • Water Faucet Maintenance: Water supply faucets should be turned off when the washer is not in use to prevent pressure build-up in the hoses.
  • Winterizing Instructions: For storage in freezing temperatures, specific steps are provided to prevent damage, including draining water from hoses, adding RV antifreeze to the drum, and running a spin cycle.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: An "Avoid Service Checklist" helps users identify and resolve common issues like noise, starting problems, spinning issues, water problems, and incorrect temperatures, potentially saving service call costs.
  • Shipping Bolt Removal: The manual reminds users to ensure shipping bolts and foam blocks are removed during installation to prevent vibration.
