If moving, or not using your washer for a period of time, follow 

these steps:

1.

  Unplug or disconnect power to washer.

2.

  Turn off water supply to washer, to avoid flooding due  

to water pressure surge.

 

WINTER STORAGE CARE

IMPORTANT: 

To avoid damage, install and store washer  

where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in  

hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving  

during freezing weather, winterize your washer.

To winterize washer:

1.

  Shut off both water faucets; disconnect and drain water     

inlet hoses.

2.

  Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in basket and run  

a wash cycle for about 30 seconds to mix antifreeze and 

remaining water.

3.

  Unplug washer or disconnect power.

NON-USE AND VACATION CARE

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk  

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 

on the label with a permanent marker.

WASHER CARE

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 find 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 finish, 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.

TRANSPORTING YOUR WASHER

1.

  Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water     

inlet hoses.

2.

  If washer will be moved during freezing weather, follow     

“Winter Storage Care” directions before moving.

3.

  Disconnect drain hose from drain system and drain any  

remaining water into a pan or bucket. Disconnect drain 

hose from back of washer.

4.

  Unplug power cord.

5.

  Place inlet hoses and drain hose inside washer basket.

6.

  Drape power cord over edge and into washer basket.

7.

  Place packing tray from original shipping materials back 

inside washer. If you do not have packing tray, place heavy 

blankets or towels into basket opening. Close lid and place 

tape over lid and down front of washer. Keep lid taped until

8.

  Reinstall bottom shipping cone if available.
