WASHER CARE
Cleaning Your Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as
detergent or bleach from the outside of your washer.
Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine
bleach and enough detergent to equal twice the manufacturer’s
recommended amount for a normal wash load. Pour this mixture
into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot
water. Repeat this process if necessary.
Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as
washer safe.
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser
1. Remove dispenser by grasping top with both hands and
squeezing, while pushing upward with thumbs.
2. Rinse dispenser under warm water, then replace it.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the washer or clothing, do not wash
clothes with the liquid fabric softener dispenser removed.
Water Inlet Hoses
This washer does not include water inlet hoses. Whirlpool
Corporation recommends use of factory specied parts. See
“Accessories” for a list of factory specied hoses available for
separate purchase. These hoses are manufactured and tested to
meet Whirlpool Corporation’s specications.
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of
hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if
bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
on the label with a permanent marker.
Moving and Storage
Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can
damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer during
freezing weather, winterize it.
Winterizing your washer
1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet
hoses. Pour 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze into the basket.
2. Run washer on a drain and spin setting for about 30 seconds
to mix the antifreeze and remaining water.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
To use washer again
1. Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
Turn on both water faucets.
2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
3. Run the washer through a complete bulky items cycle with
1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.
Storage, non-use, or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be
on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of
time, you should:
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid
ooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
8. Select Cycle
Push the Cycle Control knob in and turn clockwise to the
cycle you want.
