Operation
1. The Clean Washer with affresh
®
cycle will determine whether
clothing or other items are in the washer.
2. If no items are detected in the washer, it will proceed with the
cycle.
a. If any items are detected in the washer, “rL” (remove
load) will be displayed. The door will unlock. Open
washer and remove any garments from the washer drum.
b. Touch Power to clear the “rL” code.
c. Touch and hold Start/Pause to restart the cycle.
3. Steam models only: During the first 20 minutes of the cycle,
it will activate the steamer but the drum will not spin or fill with
water. You may see condensation on the door window during
this initial phase. If you are using an affresh
®
Washer Cleaner
tablet, it will not dissolve completely during the steam phase.
This is normal.
After the cycle is complete, leave the door open slightly to
allow for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.

needed.
Replace the dispenser in the washer cabinet and make sure that it
is correctly seated.
