cleaning and maintaining your
washer
Keeping your washer clean improves its performance, wards off unnecessary
repairs, and lengthens its life.

CLEANING ThE EXTERIoR

Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day's washing.
This will shut off the water supply to your washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from
escaping water. Leave the door open to allow the inside of your washer to dry out.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel – Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray
cleaners directly on the panel.
Cabinet – Clean with soap and water.

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 and/or permanent
stains on your washer or laundry.
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a cleanser labeled "Washer safe".

CLEANING ThE DISPENSERS

You may need to clean the Automatic Dispenser periodically to remove laundry additive buildup.
1. Pull the detergent liquid holder out of the detergent compartment.
2. Remove the Siphon Cap from the fabric softener and bleach
compartments.
3. Wash all of the parts under running water.
4. Clean the dispenser recess with a soft brush.
5. Reinsert the Siphon Cap, and push it firmly into place.
6. Push the dispenser back into place.
7. Run a Rinse + Spin cycle without any load in your washer.

SToRING youR WAShER

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage. To
prepare your washer for storage, follow these steps:
1. Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the automatic dispenser. 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 door open to let air circulate inside
the tumbler.
If you store your washer in below–freezing temperatures, allow time for any leftover water in your
washer to thaw out before use.
