WASHER MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes.
To keep washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended
cleaning procedure at least once a month:
1. Make sure laundry drum is empty.
2. Using recommended Affresh
® washer cleaner, add one
tablet to washer basket
OR
If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 2/3 cup (160 mL) to
liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.
IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent to Clean Washer
with Affresh ™ cycle. Do not use more than recommended
amount of bleach to avoid damaging product over time.
3. Close washer door and dispenser drawer.
4. Select CLEAN WASHER with Affresh
™ cycle.
5. Press and hold START/PAUSE.
NOTE: The basket will rotate, then the door will unlock,
lock again, and then the cycle will continue. The washer will
not fill, and the basket will rotate while the washer runs a
short sensing cycle. This will take approximately 3 minutes.
6. The cycle will determine whether clothing or other items
are in the washer. If no items are detected in the washer,
it will proceed to Step 8.
If the Wash LED light flashes, the door will unlock.
Remove clothing or items in the washer. Press POWER
to cancel the flashing LED light. Then repeat steps 1, 2,
and 6 to start the cycle again.
7. Once the cycle has started, allow cycle to complete.
8. After the cycle has ended, leave the door open slightly,
to allow for better ventilation and drying of washer
interior.
To clean exterior:
1. Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
2. Use mild soap and water if needed.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging washer finish, do not use
abrasive products.
CLEANING THE DISPENSER
You may find laundry product residue leftover in your
dispenser compartments. To remove residue, follow this
recommended cleaning procedure:
1. Pull dispenser drawer out until it stops.
2. Press down on the release lever and pull straight out to
remove the dispenser.
3. Remove the insert (the siphon from the softener and
bleach compartments).
4. Wash dispenser and cover panel in warm, soapy water,
using a mild detergent.
5. Rinse with warm water.
6. Air dry or wipe with a clean towel. Replace the insert.
7. Align edges of dispenser with guides in washer, then slide
dispenser back into slot.
IMPORTANT: Dispenser is not dishwasher safe.
