Maintaining your washer
WARNING
Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk electric shock
only during servicing. Service personnel – Do not contact the following parts while the
appliance is energized: Control board, heat sink, motor, inlet valve, heater and pump.
Cleaning the exterior
1. 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 lid open to allow the
inside of your washer to dry out.
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.
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:
1. Select the Quick Wash cycle and add
bleach to the automatic dispenser. Run
your washer through the cycle without
a load.
2. Turn the water faucets off and
disconnect the inlet hoses.

2. Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent,
bleach, or other spills as they occur.
3. 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.
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 cleaners labeled "Washer safe".
3. Unplug your washer from the electrical
outlet and leave your washer lid open to
let air circulate inside the drum.
If your washer has been stored in
below–freezing temperatures, allow time
for any leftover water in your washer to
thaw out before use.
