Maintaining your
washer
Cleaning the exterior
• Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach,
or other spills as they occur.
Caution
Turn off the water faucets after normal use.
This shuts off the water supply to your
washer and prevents the possibility of
damage from escaping water. Leave the
lid open to let the inside of your washer
dry out.
Cleaning the interior
• Clean the interior of your washer periodically to
remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or
bacterial residue that may remain in your washer
as a result of washing clothes.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
unpleasant conditions, including odors or
permanent stains in your washer or on your
laundry.
• To remove hard water deposits, use a cleaner
labeled “Washer safe."
Cleaning the control panel
• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
powders or cleaning pads.
• Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel. The
control panel finish may be damaged by some
laundry pre-treatment soil and stain remover
products. Apply such products away from your
washer and wipe up any spills or over-spray
immediately.
Cleaning the detergent, bleach, or softener
compartment
• To remove laundry product residue, wipe with a
damp cloth and towel dry.
• You can remove the detergent and softener
compartments to clean them. However, the
bleach compartment is not removable, so you
must flush the compartment while it is in your
washer.
Cleaning the tub
The Tub Clean cycle is a self-cleaning cycle that
removes the causes of odors that may occur inside
your washer without using a cleaning agent. We
suggest cleaning the tub about once a month.
1 With the tub empty, add one cup of chlorine
bleach to the bleach dispenser.
2 Press the Power button.
3 Turn the cycle selector to Tub Clean
select
Caution
Never use the Tub Clean cycle when
laundry is in your washer. This may
damage the laundry or your washer.
Storing your washer
You can damage your washer if you do not remove
water from hoses and internal components before
storage.
To prepare your washer for storage:
1 Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to
the washer. Run your washer through the cycle
without a load.
2 Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the
inlet hoses.
3 Unplug your washer from the electrical outlet
and leave your washer lid open to let air
circulate inside the tub.
Troubleshooting
Caution
If your washer has been stored in
below-freezing temperatures, allow time
for any leftover water in your washer to
thaw out before use.
Caution
Do not try to repair your washer yourself.
Doing so invalidates the warranty.
