cleaning and maintaining your washer
Keeping your washer clean improves its performance, wards off unnecessary repairs, and
lengthens its life.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s washing.
This will shut off the water supply to your Washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water.
Leave the door open to allow the inside of your Washer to dry out.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel – Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray cleaners
directly on the panel.
Cabinet – Clean with soap and water.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Clean the interior of your Washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial residue that may
remain in your Washer as a result of washing clothes.
1. Make sure the washer is empty.
2. Press the Pure Cycle™ (WF220*) button.
OR
If Pure Cycle is not available in your washer, select Heavy Duty cycle (WF210*) with Hot/Cold option and put
1 cup (250ml) of liquid chlorine bleach into the drum.
3. Press the Start/Pause button.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors and/or permanent stains on your
Washer or laundry.
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a cleaner labeled “Washer safe”.
CLEANING THE DISPENSERS
The Automatic Dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to laundry
additive buildup.
1. Pull the detergent liquid holder out of the detergent compartment.
2. Remove the Siphon Cap from the fabric softener and bleach compartments.
3. Wash all of the parts under running water.
4. Clean the dispenser recess with a soft brush.
5. Reinsert the Siphon Cap, and push it firmly into place.
6. Push the dispenser back into place.
7. Run a Rinse + Spin cycle without any load in your Washer.
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.
