Reconditioning Flooded Electrical Appliances Do not try to use washers, refrigerators or otherlarge electrical appliances until they are checked by a serviceman. Attempting to run equipment before it is properly cleaned could seriously damage it. The manufacturer's authorized dealer has detailed information for inspection and repair of his particular equipment, and should be called for repair if possible. Follow these general procedures if you must do your own repairs: Motorized appliances (refrigerators, freezers,washers, dryers)1. Remove the electric motor, if possible, and take it to an electrical repair shop. If the motor can't be removed, follow instructions to recondition it. 2. Remove dirt from insulation and dry insulation thoroughly. Insulation may have been ruined from wetting. It may develop bad odors, or lose its insulating ability depending on exposure time in water. If so, the appliance will probably have to be discarded. Some newer sealed units may be unharmed by water. 3. Clean up outside of unit, and recondition the controls. Replace all bad wiring. 4. Clean gear housings and shafts in washing machineswith kerosene. Clean bearings. Wipe metal surfaces with a kerosene-soaked rag to remove rust and dirt. Coat metal surfaces thinly with oil. Heating appliances1. Disconnect electricity and flush appliance with clean water. 2. Aerosol cleaning products (like Quik-Kleen) areavailable for cleaning hard to reach places in motors. Spray on parts and wipe or flush off. Do not use on contacts. 3. The insulation on hot water heaters may be soaked.Remove all panels, and if possible, the top of theheater. The insulation may never dry satisfactorily. 4. Clean and dry thermostat and wiring. Apply rust inhibitor to all metal parts.Electrical cords1. Throw away any damaged or fabric-covered cords.2. Rubber-covered cords in good condition (with no cracks in the rubber) can probably be reconditioned as follows: a. Remove connections from both endsb. Peel back rubber covering until inside braid is dry.c. Cut off damaged part of cord. d. Clean up plug and receptacle; connect to cord or replace. Grounding All metallic appliances should be grounded when in use to prevent electric shock. This is especially important with washers, dryers, ranges, waffle irons, dishwashers, portable drills, saws and grinders. Attach a wire from the frame of the appliance to a water pipe or to the ground wire in a grounded wiring system.
