remove garments after cycle has completed to avoid odor,
reduce wrinkling, and avoid rusting of metal hooks, zippers,

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

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 Heavy Duty cycle.
f. Press the Start button to start the cycle.
NOTE: Do not interrupt cycle.
Cleaning the Optional Fabric Softener Dispenser
After a period of using your washer, you may nd some residue
buildup in the dispenser. To remove residue from the dispenser,
wipe with a damp cloth and towel dry. 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 nish, 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.
