Q: My store uses Huebsch dryers, model JT0300DFG. I am having an issue. Sometimes when I put coins into the machine, it doesn't work and the symbol "ERR" displays and blinks. Other times that symbol is gone and returns to normal status.

The coin drop is dirty. Remove, take apart and remove all the lint. If the issue continues replace the drop.

Q: We have a model #JT0350SEL-ser#R0009000117. It shuts off one second after starting. We have cleaned the entire machine but it appears the air flow switch is tripping out. Any suggestions?

If the air flow switch is opening as stated then there is a major restriction in the exhaust system, the fan is not operating, there is a plugged lint filter or there is a major air leak between the cylinder and lint compartment.

Q: I have Huebsch dryers and the back of the drums are all turning brown. It looks like it is scorched from the use of fabric softeners. What is the best way to clean it?

Some 409 cleaner and a Brillo pad will remove the excess softener build up.

Q: We have MDC top load DOE washing machines in our laundry rooms. There are either three or four machines in each laundry room. We are looking to replace the existing hot water tanks with tankless hot water units. The suppliers are not certain of the size of tankless unit to supply either the three or four machine scenario. Can you advise me on the correct tankless sized unit?

The estimated hot water usage is 16 gallons per cycle per washer and the cycle time is 34 minutes. You will need to use this info to calculate heater size.

Q: Is there a specific type of PDA required to use the Galaxy control on Huebsch machines?

The PDA has to run Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 or greater in order to work with the Galaxy software. Your Huebsch distributor can provide you a list of tested PDA models.

Q: What is the cost of electricity for drying a 30 lb wash load?

This is a good estimate, but your results will vary: Assumptions: 30 lb dry weight load of cotton towels, 100G washer-extractor, dried in 45 lb natural gas tumbler Electricity cost = $0.12/kWH, natural gas cost = $1.00/therm Huebsch Dryer Energy cost for the 30 lb load: Total energy cost to dry = $0.52* *$0.46 for natural gas and $0.06 for electricity If you dry with an electric heated tumble dryer as the question states, it is much more expensive, typically two to three times the total energy cost of a natural gas heated drying tumbler. For this financial reason, almost no vended laundries use electric heat drying tumblers.

Q: I have a 20 lb washer, model #HC20BC20V6001. I would like to know how I can change the amount charged, and is there any sequence used in order to give a free wash with out having to open the machine. We are using control system 0231589-1*.

Since you have a B-Control machine, the machine has to be programmed manually and the machine has to be opened briefly to get into manual programming mode. Once you are in programming mode it is very easy to change the vend price.
