Why is my Labconco FlaskScrubber Vantage Washer not drying properly?
- D
  David MyersAug 18, 2025
  Poor drying in your Labconco Washer may occur due to several reasons. The drying temperature might be too low, so you should program a warmer drying temperature. If you are washing flasks, beakers, or labware with concave bottoms, make sure to tilt these items when loading to allow water to drain off. Recondensation can also be a factor; try opening the latch after the cycle is complete to let moisture-laden air escape. Also, check if the heater or blower are disconnected or malfunctioned, and reconnect or replace them if needed. Finally, the drying time might be too short; program a longer drying time.

  If your Labconco Washer won't drain, start by checking for a clogged drain and clean it out. Also, inspect the air gap for any blockage, clean the air gap by lifting the cover, unscrewing the cap, and removing any obstructions. Inspect the drain hose for kinks and ensure it is free. Check the filter in the washer and clean it if needed. Finally, check the operation of the drain valve or pump.

  If your Labconco Washer is leaking, there are several possible causes. First, make sure the washer is level by adjusting the leveling feet. Check the door seal and adjust the door latch if necessary. Inspect the tank gasket and correct if it's loose. Tighten any loose connections at the hose clamps or fill valve. Ensure you are using a non-foaming detergent in the proper amount. Remove any obstructions in the drain line. Finally, check the operation of the fill switch if the washer is overfilling.
