Vacations and Extended Non-Use

IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage due to flooding, turn off the water supply to the washer whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.

Leave the loading door open during extended periods of non-use to allow the wash drum to dry out and avoid a musty smell.

Running an occasional rinse cycle with bleach will help to avoid a musty smell in the wash drum.

Cleaning Glass Sealing Area

In order to assure that the door properly seals against water leaks, the following surfaces should be wiped off periodically:

• The outside perimeter of the door glass where the seal contacts the glass

• The front surface of the door seal lip

Usually a mild soap solution will work. If there is an extreme build-up of minerals from a hard water supply, the surfaces may need to be cleaned wi th a lime removal chemical.
