If moving, or not using your washer for a period of time, follow
these steps:
1. Unplug or disconnect power to washer.
2. Turn off water supply to washer, to avoid flooding due
to water pressure surge.
WINTER STORAGE CARE
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, install and store washer where
it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in hoses, freezing
can damage washer. If storing or moving during freezing weather,
winterize your washer.
To winterize washer:
1. Shut off both water faucets; disconnect and drain water inlet
hoses.
2. Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in basket and run a wash
cycle for about 30 seconds to mix antifreeze and remaining
water.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
NON-USE AND VACATION CARE
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.

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and
Performing at its Best
1. Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions
regarding the amount of detergent to use. Never use more than
the recommended amount because that may increase the rate
at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your
washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not
exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better job
of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry out
the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing residue.
Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer
Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum,
once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs
sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may
otherwise accumulate in your washer.
Cleaning the Inside of the Washer
To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions
provided above, and use this recommended cleaning procedure:
Recommended Cycle for Cleaning the Washer
For optimal cleaning use chlorine bleach:
a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.
b. Add 1 cup (236 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach to the wash
basket.
NOTE: Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is recommended
above could cause washer damage over time.
c. Close the washer lid.
d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the washer
when following this procedure.
e. Select the Power Wash
®
/Heavy Duty cycle.
f. Press the Start button to start the cycle.
NOTE: Do not interrupt cycle.
Cleaning the Bleach Dispenser
After a period of using your washer, you may find some residue
buildup in the Bleach Dispenser. To remove residue from
the dispenser, wipe it with a damp cloth and towel dry.
Do not attempt to remove the Bleach Dispenser or trim for
cleaning. The dispenser and trim are not removable. Use an
all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills.
Use only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external washer
surfaces.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not use
abrasive products.
NOTE: The Clean Washer Cycle should be used 1 or 2 times a
year. Check the Tech Sheet for access to the Clean Washer Cycle
in the Diagnostic Test Mode.
TRANSPORTING YOUR WASHER
1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet
hoses.
2. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, follow “Winter
Storage Care” directions before moving.
3. Disconnect drain hose from drain system and drain any
remaining water into a pan or bucket. Disconnect drain hose
from back of washer.
4. Unplug power cord.
5. Place inlet hoses and drain hose inside washer basket.
6. Drape power cord over edge and into washer basket.
7. Place packing tray from original shipping materials back inside
washer. If you do not have packing tray, place heavy blankets
or towels into basket opening. Close lid and place tape over
lid and down front of washer. Keep lid taped until washer is
placed in new location.
8. Reinstall bottom shipping cone if available.
Pry dispenser from the top of the agipeller, fill with warm or hot
water. Swirl the warm water within the dispenser and shake it up
to dissolve any residual fabric softener that may be built up inside.
Turning the dispenser upside down repeatedly over a sink will
empty the contents. Clean the inside of the agipeller using warm
or hot water and a cloth or brush. Remove any fabric softener
buildup. Reinstall the cleaned dispenser by securing it back into
the agipeller. The dispenser will snap into place when forced
downwards into the agipeller.
