newsflash- just received this advice from a friend: There is water in the pump keeping the seals wet. The person who said that you had to run it to keep the seals wet was basing his experience on a GE POS and it's not the seals drying out with them; it's the cheap steel in the shafts rusting to the seals if they are not turned on from time to time. Makes sense: if you want it to last turn it on once-in-a-while. |

2nd newsflash- As a new machine it probably has little or no water in it (I am duly informed) and it should be ok. My parents did the same thing 30 years ago, and their Kenmore badged D&M was just fine. A cheap plastic tablecloth and a lamp on the carton does wonders to help it blend in to the living room! LOL Please, just have them be sure to have it installed and working before the warranty expires or they may have troubles that become thier own expense! |
