Most drum paddle lifters are secured by small clips or tabs. Locate the small tab or clip at one end of the lifter (usually the end closest to the door opening).

Carefully pull the old lifter out of the drum.

Align the new drum paddle lifter (Model C00065463) with the mounting slots in the drum. Insert the end without the release tab first, sliding it into place. Then, push the end with the tab firmly until it clicks into position. Ensure both ends are securely seated and the lifter does not wobble.

Funcionament i Funció
Once correctly installed, the drum paddle lifter operates automatically as part of the washing machine's normal cycle. Its primary function is to lift and tumble laundry within the drum, ensuring thorough saturation with water and detergent, and effective mechanical action for cleaning.
No specific user interaction is required for the lifter itself during operation. Its presence ensures optimal washing performance.
Manteniment i cura
Regular inspection of the drum paddle lifters can help prevent issues and prolong the life of your washing machine.
- Inspecció visual: Periodically check the lifters for cracks, damage, or signs of wear. Ensure they are still firmly attached to the drum.
- Neteja: If lint, hair, or small objects become lodged around or under the lifters, carefully remove them. A soft brush or cloth can be used to clean the surface of the lifters.
- Eviteu la sobrecàrrega: Overloading the washing machine can put excessive stress on the drum and its components, including the lifters, potentially leading to premature wear or breakage.
- Objectes estrangers: Always check pockets for coins, keys, or other small, hard objects before washing, as these can damage the lifters and the drum.
