When the power is on and the 'Tub Clean' message
blinks on the display, it means the washer drum
needs cleaning. Use the Tub Clean cycle to clean
the washer drum. The frequency of the automatic
alert's appearance depends on how often the washer
is used, however the message will generally appear
every one to two months.

Removing Mineral Buildup

In areas with hard water, mineral scale can form on
internal components of the washer. Periodically clean
the mineral buildup on the internal components to
extend the lifespan of the washer. Use of a water
softener is recommended in areas with hard water.
• Use a descaler, such as Washer Magic®, to remove
visible mineral buildup on the washer drum.
After descaling, always run the Tub Clean cycle
before washing clothing.
• Mineral scale and other spots may be removed from
the stainless steel drum using a soft cloth soaked in
stainless steel cleaner.
• Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
NOTE
• If you use a descaler or tub cleaner during the Tub
Clean cycle, use the Rinse+Spin cycle to rinse the
washer drum before running your next wash cycle.
