Cleaning the Fabric Softener Dispenser 

(on some models)

The Fabric Softener Dispenser is self cleaning. This dispenser should not require regular cleaning 

like standard fabric softener dispensers. Wipe down exterior surfaces of the dispenser as needed. If 

cleaning of the internal dispenser components is needed, follow these steps after the wash cycle is 

complete:

The Fabric Softener Dispenser 

(on some models)

1

  Lift the tab on the fabric softener dispenser 

top.

2

  Measure out fabric softener into the cap 

and pour the softener into the dispenser 

top. The fabric softener will drain into the 

receiving cup inside the dispenser. Use only 

“Ultra” or concentrated fabric softeners. 

3

  Push down on the tab to close the 

dispenser top. Make sure the tab is pushed 

down fully and snaps shut.

4

  Select 

Fabric Softener

 on the control panel.

NOTE: 

Overfilling the dispenser will cause fabric 

softener to drain out of the holes in the side of 

the infusor when filling. Do not overfill.

NOTE: Do not use fabric softener dispensing 

balls with this washer. They do not work 

correctly in high efficiency washers.

The fabric softener dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time.
Do not stop the washer or raise the lid  during the first spin. This will cause the dispenser to 

empty too soon.
Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. This may cause stains on your clothing.

1

  Lift the dispenser top tab and turn the top 

counterclockwise using the 2 turning tabs 

shown. Lift the dispenser out of the 

Infusor™. 

2

  Clean out any buildup from inside the 

Infusor™ with a soft cloth or toothbrush. 

Ensure the three rectangular holes in the 

bottom that allow the fabric softener to 

drain are not blocked.

3

  Gently pull the cap away from the 

dispenser cup to separate.

4

  Wipe surfaces with a soft cloth or soak the 

parts in a solution of 1 gallon warm water, 

1/4 cup liquid detergent and 1 cup bleach. 

Ensure the small hole in the top surface of 

the cap and its associated tube are not 

obstructed.

5

  Reassemble the dispenser cup and cap by 

snapping them together.

  Place the dispenser assembly into the 

Infusor™. Turn the top clockwise using the 2 

turning tabs shown. Push down on the tab 

to close the dispenser top. Make sure the 

tab is pushed down fully and snaps shut.

This model has 

AUTOMATIC LOAD SENSING

. This selection provides the correct amount of water suited to the size and type 

of load placed in the unit. The washer will not fill with water during automatic load sensing if the lid is open. When the lid is 
closed the machine is able to begin filling with water in order to sense the load size.

Note: This is a high efficiency washing machine with Infusor™ wash action. This system requires less water while providing 
effective cleaning action. You may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal for an 
Infusor™-equipped washer.

Liquid Bleach Funnel

The water fill dilutes liquid chlorine bleach as the washer fills for the wash cycle.

1

  Check clothing care labels for special instructions.

2

  Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.

„

 

Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.

„

 

Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach funnel.

3

  Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach funnel. 

Avoid splashing or over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered bleach, add it into the 

wash basket with your detergent.

„

 

Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or 

rust remover. Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.
