WASHER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are 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 potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These
words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
DANGER
immediately follow instructions.
WARNING
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow
instructions.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
n Read all instructions before using the appliance.
n Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as
they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
n 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.
n 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 a
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.
n Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
n Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door.
n Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is
moving.
n Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
n Do not tamper with controls.
n Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt
any servicing unless specifically recommended in the usermaintenance instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry
out.
n Do not use replacement parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at
home using a 3D printer).
n See the Installation Instructions for grounding requirements
and installation.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.
Service Personnel – Do not contact the thermostat bracket while the appliance is energized.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive
sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will
likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component failure and, over
time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be lowsudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds
for the best performance. They should hold soil in suspension so it
is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled
as High Efficiency are identical in formulation and their ability to
reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE
detergents may generate a high level of suds. If you use one of
these and see an “Sd” or “Sud” error code appear in the display,
consider using a different HE detergent. Always follow the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of
detergent to use. Do not go over the Max line on the dispenser.
Adding Laundry Products
Adding HE detergent to basket:
Single-dose laundry packets, Oxitype boosters, color-safe bleach, or
scented crystals can be added to
the drum prior to adding laundry.
When using single-dose laundry
packets, make sure that the bulk
dispenser is disabled (on some
models) or off.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the
amount of laundry products to use.
Adding liquid chlorine bleach to single-load dispenser:
Add liquid chlorine bleach to
the bleach compartment. Do
not overfill, dilute, or use more
than 2⁄3 cup (165 mL). Do not
use color-safe bleach or Oxi in
the same cycle with liquid
chlorine bleach.
IMPORTANT:
n Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup
with a pour spout; do not guess.
n Do not fill beyond the “MAX” line. Overfilling could cause
garment damage.
n Do not use thickened, easy-pour, or no-splash bleach when
running the Clean Washer with affresh
may occur.
n On some models: Do not add liquid chlorine bleach to the bulk
dispenser.
n Slowly close dispenser drawers. Make sure the drawers are
closed completely (on some models).
Adding liquid fabric softener to single-load dispenser:
Pour a measured amount of liquid
fabric softener into liquid fabric
softener compartment. Always
follow manufacturer’s directions for
correct amount of fabric softener,
based on your load size. Disable
the 1-Liter Load & Go
not used to dispense detergent (on
some models).
Fabric softener is always dispensed in the last rinse, even if
Extra Rinse is selected.
™ dispenser if
®
cycle, as excess suds
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than the
manufacturer-recommended quantity of fabric softener. Do not fill
past the “MAX” line. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener
to immediately dispense into washer.
n Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
n Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this washer.
They will not dispense correctly.
n Do not use fabric softener sheets, as they can stain the load.
Adding HE detergent to Optimal Dispense Drawer (on some
models):
This compartment holds up to
14.3 oz. (424 ml) of liquid HE
detergent allowing you to avoid
having to refill detergent for
each load. Also, this will use
just the right amount of
detergent required for a
particular load/cycle.
NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type
boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals to
dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.
Adding HE detergent to Load & Go
models):
Use only High Efficiency (HE) liquid detergents. The bulk
dispensers will hold about 67.6 oz. (2 L) or 33.8 oz. (1 L) of liquid
HE detergent, depending on dispenser, or enough for many loads
of laundry.
To fill bulk dispensers (on some models):
Open the dispenser drawer by pulling on the handle at the base of
the washer. If desired, the drawer can be completely removed
from the washer.
Locate the Load & Go
pull up on the tab located on the bulk dispenser
lid to lift the fill door.
Fill to the “MAX” line (see illustrations at right)
with HE liquid detergent or liquid fabric softener
(1-liter dispenser only). Close fill door. It will click
into place. Make sure the concentration setting
is correct (see the online “Cycle Guide”).
It is recommended that you rinse out the Load &
Go
™ containers when refilling, when changing
detergent types or concentrations, or when the
washer will not be used for an extended period.
For instructions on cleaning the dispenser
cartridge, see “Washer Care” in the “Washer
Maintenance and Care” section of your Owner’s
Manual.
Adding HE detergent to single-load dispenser:
Pour a measured amount of HE
detergent into detergent
compartment. For powdered
detergent, lift the selector to the high
position. For liquid detergent, push
down the selector to the low position.
Do not overfill; adding too much detergent may cause detergent
to be dispensed into the washer too early.

WASHER MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Cleaning the Washer Location
Keep washer area clear and free from items that would block
airflow. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the
washer.
Water Inlet Hoses
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:
n Mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent
marker.
n Check that the old washers are not stuck on the washer inlet
valves.
n Use new washers in the new inlet hoses to ensure a proper
seal.
Washer Care
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer
Clean and Performing at Its Best
1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE
detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of
HE 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 or hot water washes 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.
4. Periodically clean residue from all interior surfaces of the
window. For better care, wipe the entire inside of the door with
a damp cloth.
Cleaning Your Front-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 Door Seal
1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from
the washer.
2. Inspect the gray-colored seal between the door opening and
the drum for stained areas, soil buildup, or lint. Pull back the
seal to inspect all areas under the seal and to check for
foreign objects or lint.
3. If stained areas, soil buildup, or lint are found, wipe down
these areas of the seal using either of the following two
procedures:
