Care & Cleaning
Cleaning the pump filter
Cleaning the door gasket
To clean the interior of the 
washer, use the SELF CLEAN
cycle using the following 
procedure:
Step 1: Remove any garments 
or objects from the washer to 
ensure the basket is empty.
Step 2: Open the door 
and add one cup (250 ml) 
of bleach directly into the 
washer basket. 
Step 3: Close the door and 
select the SELF CLEAN
cycle. Press the Start pad.
Step 4: When the SELF 
CLEAN cycle is working, 
the display will show the 
estimated cycle time 
remaining. The cycle will 
complete in about 90 minutes. 
Do not interrupt the cycle.
Step 5: After the cycle is 
complete (on some models),
the washer will automatically
start an UltraFresh Vent
operation so that the door 
can remain closed until the 
next time the washer is used. 
SELF CLEAN may be 
interrupted by pressing 
Start/Pause.   When 
interrupted, be sure to 
run a complete SELF 
CLEAN cycle before 
using the washer again.  
For more information,

foreign objects trapped 
inside the interior gasket. 
STEP 4: When you are 
finished cleaning the door 
gasket, release it and the 
gasket will return to the 
operating position.
NOTE: Make sure nothing 
is blocking holes behind 
gasket.
NOTE: Clean pump 
filter every 6 months 
or sooner if unit is 
not draining properly.
