Washer Care and Troubleshooting
Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can
damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer during
freezing weather, winterize it.
Winterizing your washer
1.
Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet
hoses. Pour 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze into the basket.
2.
Run washer on a drain and spin setting for about 30 seconds
to mix the antifreeze and remaining water.
3.
Unplug washer or disconnect power.
Storage, non-use, or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be
on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of
time, you should:
1.
Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2.
Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid
flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
To use washer again
Refer to the Installation Instructions included with your washer
to reinstall and use washer after winterizing, storage or moving.
Upon reinstallation, flush water pipes and hoses by running one
washer cycle without clothes.
Moving and Storage
7.
Select cycle settings and options
You may choose cycles from the Recent tab, with any custom
settings you have selected. Or select a cycle from the Clothes,
Colors, Bed & Bath, or Classic tab to use default settings or
choose new custom settings.
Once you have selected the cycle, default settings for the cycle
will be displayed. If you wish to change the default settings,
you may adjust the settings using the adjustment palette, by
selecting the desired settings individually, or use Stain Assist
to get recommended settings for the stain. Once the desired
settings and options are selected, press Done to return to the
main cycle screen.
Not all settings and options are available with all cycles.
Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions
to avoid damage to your garments.
8.
Touch START/PAUSE to begin
wash cycle
Touch the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle.
When the cycle has finished, a “CLEAN” message will be
displayed and the end of cycle signal will sound (if set).
Promptly remove garments when cycle is done to avoid
odor, reduce wrinkling, and rusting of metal hooks, zippers,
and snaps.
NOTE:
If you need to open the lid to add 1 or 2 missed garments,
you may do so while Add a Garment is displayed.
Press START/PAUSE; the lid will unlock once the washer
movement has stopped. This may take several minutes if the
load was spinning at high speed. Then close lid and press
START/PAUSE again to resume the cycle.
If lid is left open for more than 10 minutes the water will be
pumped out.
Inlet Hoses
Whirlpool Corporation recommends replacing your inlet hoses
after every 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure.
Additionally, 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.
