If you have a dumbwaiter at home, then you know how convenient it can be to have it around. Dumbwaiters are great for transporting all sorts of items to the different levels of your home, whether you need to move pet food, groceries, firewood, among other things. To keep dumbwaiters functioning properly, however, you’ll have to schedule the proper maintenance procedures. That’s why, today, we’ll be telling you how to properly maintain dumbwaiters so they can last as long as possible.
Keep Tracks and Rollers Lubricated
As time passes, your rollers and tracks will lose their lubricative properties. Without proper lubrication, they are more susceptible to friction, which causes unnecessary damage that can shorten the lifespan of your dumbwaiter.
Because of this, make sure you’re having an annual service and maintenance performed by a professional. This way, your dumbwaiter is able to minimize damage, and maximize its lifespan.
Stay on Top of Cleaning
Make sure your dumbwaiter’s interior is cleaned regularly.. Without proper cleaning, your dumbwaiter might have performance difficulties, or the doors might not open or close properly. A clean dumbwaiter will have a much easier time functioning as intended.
See If There are Any Worn Out Components
While lubrication can extend the lifespan of your dumbwaiter’s components, they will still get worn down with enough time.. Professionals should always be the ones to carry out the service and maintenance , as they will know how to spot worn out components more easily.
