03 CLEANING AND MAINTAINING
STORING YOUR WASHER
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage.
Prepare your washer for storage as follows:
• Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the automatic dispenser. Run your washer through the
cycle without a load.
• Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.
• Unplug your washer from the electrical outlet and leave your washer door open to let air circulate inside
the tumbler.
• If your washer has been stored in below–freezing temperatures, allow time for any leftover water in your
washer to thaw out before use.
CLEANING THE DEBRIS FILTER
We recommend cleaning the debris filter when water does not drain well or the “nd” error message is
displayed.
1. Open the filter cover by pressing and pulling the handle
of the filter cover with your finger.
2. Unscrew the drain cap by turning it
counterclockwise.
3. Hold the cap on the end of the drain tube
and slowly pull it out about 6 in.(15 cm) and
drain off all the water.
4. Remove the debris filter cap.
