Guide 5b. Bosch WDT75 Dryer: Cleaning lint stuck on shaft and lubrication. Other maintenance performed annually.

ID: 219790

Description:

Steps:

1. I dedicated a previous document, which you have at: Secadora BOSCH WDT75
2. On this occasion I am repeating the preventive maintenance (lubrication and cleaning) the following year, showing how the machine is doing.

3. Teardown of the 2 motor shaft cover screws, cleaning the area with a cloth, and lubricating the shaft with fine oil and petroleum jelly

4. Lubricate with oil and petroleum jelly, install the cover.

5. Remove the bottom cover screws, clean the entire area with a vacuum, and clean the motor cooling fan with a brush and vacuum.

6. Remove the thick layer of accumulated lint that is preventing the drum from spinning; I do this by hand, using tweezers and a screwdriver, and by running the thin nozzle of a vacuum cleaner through it.

7. Clean the top part, sides, and part of the electronic board, removing all accumulated dust. Reinstall the back cover and top cover.
8. I hope that with this maintenance and lubrication, I can add another year of use to the machine, now that it is clean and its axle is lubricated.
9. END of the guide.
