WASHER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
DANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
WARNING
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer
is used near children.
• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable,
or explosive substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
discarded,
• Before the washer is removed from service or
remove the lid.
• Do not reach into the washer if the tub or agitator is
• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable, or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
moving.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before using the
washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets
and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended
in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding
requirements.

Refer to “Understanding washer cycles” to learn what
happens during a wash cycle.
Hand Washables cycle
The Hand Washables cycle features a series of brief, low-
speed agitations and short soaks to gently clean special-
care items. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling. Use this
cycle for cleaning lightly soiled hand washables.
Garments are labeled "Hand Wash" because:
■
■
The fiber or construction may be sensitive to agitation.
The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.
NOTE: Some "Hand Wash" items, particularly wool,
naturally shrink when washed either in the sink or in the
Hand Washables cycle. Keep this in mind when you
purchase items labeled "Hand Wash".
Cycle Control knob
Properly sort and then use your Hand Washables cycle for
gentle washing. If items appear to be floating due to
trapped air, stop the washer by pushing in the Cycle
Control knob. Push items down into the water. Restart the
washer by pulling out the Cycle Control knob. Follow care
label directions for drying. Items that may shrink should be
dried flat. Block these items by gently stretching to original
measurements.
Quick Wash cycle
Wash Temperature
The Quick Wash cycle features a reduced agitation speed
for gentle soil removal, while providing shortened wash/
rinse, drain, and spin times. Use this cycle with a low
water level and a warm wash to quickly clean a few
lightly soiled items.
Normal cycle
The Normal cycle features high-speed agitation followed
by a brief period of low-speed agitation for cleaning
cottons and linens. High spin speeds shorten drying times.
Select 6 or 9 minutes of wash time, depending on whether
your load is moderately or heavily soiled.
Rinse and Spin
Super Wash/Heavy - Select the 15-minute Super Wash/
Heavy feature to wash heavily soiled loads that need
maximum soil removal. Use two times the amount of
recommended detergent for this cycle.

washing special-care items, you may find an extra rinse
and spin is needed.
P. Press/Wrinkle Resist cycle
1. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to
any of the Rinse settings.
The P. Press/Wrinkle Resist cycle starts with high-speed
agitation and then steps to low-speed agitation for
cleaning permanent press blends and synthetic fabrics. To
minimize wrinkling, this cycle features a cool-down rinse
and a low-speed final spin. Select 6 or 9 minutes of wash
time to clean lightly to moderately soiled loads.
2. Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer fills to the
selected load size, agitates, drains, and spins.
NOTE: An EXTRA RINSE option is available (on some
models). See “Starting your washer.”

CARING FOR YOUR
WASHER
Cleaning Your Washer
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills
such as detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the
outside of your washer to keep it looking new.
Water Inlet Hoses
Replace inlet hoses after five 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.
Cleaning the interior
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of
replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of
chlorine bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Pour
this into your washer and run it through a complete cycle
using hot water. Repeat this process if necessary.
NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only
cleaners labeled as washer safe.
Vacation, Storage,
and Moving Care
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser
Install and store your washer where it will not freeze.
Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can
damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer
during freezing weather, winterize it.
Flush dispenser periodically with warm water, as shown.
Remove the dispenser by grasping the top of the
dispenser with both hands and squeezing and pushing
upwards with thumbs. Clean the dispenser by rinsing it
under a water faucet. Replace it after cleaning.
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:
NOTE: Do not wash clothes with this dispenser removed.
Do not add detergent or bleach to this dispenser; it is for
liquid fabric softener use only.
■
■
Unplug washer or disconnect power.
Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps
avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure
surge) while you are away.
To winterize washer:
1. Shut off both water faucets.
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
3. Put 1 quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket.
4. Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see “Drain and
spin”) for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and
water.
Self-cleaning Lint Filter
Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the bottom of
the basket. Wash and rinse water flow over the filter during
agitation, separating the lint from the water. The lint spins
out of the system during the spin part of the cycle.
5. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
To use washer again:
1. Flush water pipes and hoses.
2. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3. Turn on both water faucets.
4. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint collected
in the tub or strainer.
5. Run the washer through a complete cycle with 1 cup
(250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.

Washer won’t drain or spin
TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
■ Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain
hose more than 72 inches (183 cm) above the floor?
See the Installation Instructions for proper installation of
drain hose.
First try the solutions suggested here and
possibly avoid the cost of a service call...
■ Is the lid open?
The lid must be closed during operation.
■ Is there excessive sudsing?
Washer won’t fill, rinse or agitate
Always measure detergent. Follow manufacturer’s
directions. If you have very soft water, you might need to
use less detergent.
■ Check the following:
Is the power cord plugged in?
■ Is your voltage low?
Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined
up with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right
slightly and pull to start.
Check electrical source or call electrician. Do not use an
extension cord.
Are the water inlet valve screens clogged?

Washer continues to fill or drain, or the cycle
seems stuck
■ Is the top of drain hose lower than the water level in
washer?
■ Does the water level seem too low, or the washer
appears to not fill completely?
The top of the hose must be higher than the water level
in the washer for proper operation. See the Installation
Instructions.
The top of the agitator is much higher than the highest
water level. This creates a perception that the washer is
not filling completely. This is normal.
■ Does the drain hose fit too tightly in the standpipe,
or is it taped to the standpipe?
The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not
seal the drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air
gap. See Installation Instructions.
Washer stops
■ Check the following:
Is the power cord plugged in?
Washer makes noise
Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined
up with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right
slightly and pull to start.
■ Is the load balanced and the washer level?
The wash load should be balanced and not overloaded.
Are the water inlet valve screens clogged?
Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on?
Is the water inlet hose kinked?

Do not use an extension cord.
These are normal washer noises.
■ Is the washer in a normal pause in the Permanent
Press (or Hand Washables) cycle?
The washer pauses for about 2 minutes in the
Permanent Press cycle. Allow the cycle to continue.
The Hand Washables cycle features periods of agitation
and soak.
■ Is the machine overloaded?
Wash smaller loads.

■ Check the following:
■ Did you use the right cycle for the load being
washed?
Are the fill hoses tight? Are the fill hose washers
properly seated? Is the drain hose clamp properly
installed? See the Installation Instructions.
Select a cycle with a higher spin speed (if available).
■ Did you use a cold rinse?
Cold rinses leave loads wetter than warm rinses. This is
normal.
■ Is the sink or drain clogged?
Sink and standpipe must be able to handle 17 gallons
(64 L) of water per minute.
Residue or lint on load
■ Is water deflecting off the tub ring or the load?

directions. Use enough detergent to hold the lint in the
water.
■ Was the washer basket pulled forward during
loading?
The wash load should be balanced and not overloaded.
Push the basket to the center before starting wash.
Is your water colder than 70°F (21°C)? Wash water
colder than 70°F (21°C) may not completely dissolve the
detergent.
■ Is the load balanced and the washer level?
The wash load should be balanced and not overloaded.
Stains on load
The washer must be level. The front feet should be
properly installed and the nuts tightened. Reset the rear
leveling legs (if needed). See the Installation
Instructions.
■ Did you follow the manufacturer’s directions when
adding detergent and fabric softener?
Measure detergent and fabric softener. Use enough
detergent to remove soil and hold it in suspension.
■ The washer basket moves while washing.
This is normal.
Dilute fabric softener and add to rinse portion of cycle
only. Do not drip fabric softener on clothes.
Agitator operation
■ Is there above average iron (rust) in water?
