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:
DANGER
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
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.
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:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
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.
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.
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.
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door.
Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
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.
Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
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.

3
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:
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup with a pour spout; do not guess.
Do not fill beyond the “MAX” line. Overfilling could cause garment damage.
Do not use thickened, easy-pour, or no-splash bleach when running the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle, as excess suds may occur.
On some models: Do not add liquid chlorine bleach to the bulk dispenser.
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™ dispenser if not used to dispense detergent (on some models).
Fabric softener is always dispensed in the last rinse, even if Extra Rinse is selected.
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.
Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this washer. They will not dispense correctly.
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™ dispenser (on some 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™ bulk dispenser. Gently 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.
4
IMPORTANT:
Disable the Load & Go™ option before starting a single load (on some models).
Do not add single-dose laundry packet to dispenser drawer.

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:
Mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
Check that the old washers are not stuck on the washer inlet valves.
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:
a.affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipes Procedure:
i.When the cycle is complete, gently pull back the rubber door seal and clean the entire surface with the textured side of an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe.
b.Dilute Liquid Chlorine Bleach Procedure:
i.Mix a dilute bleach solution, using 3/4 cup (177 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm tap water.
ii.Wipe the seal area with the dilute solution, using a damp cloth.
iii.Let stand 5 minutes.
iv.Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let washer interior air dry with door open.
IMPORTANT:
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning with bleach.
Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for proper use.
Cleaning the Inside of the Washer
This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water volumes in combination with affresh® Washer Cleaner or regular liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of the washer. Steam washer models also utilize steam to enhance cleaning in this special cycle.
IMPORTANT: Do not use thickened, easy-pour, or no-splash bleach when running the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle as excess suds may occur.
NOTE: Read these instructions completely before beginning the cleaning process.
Begin Procedure
1.Clean Washer with affresh® Cycle Procedure (Recommended for best performance):
a.Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items.
b.Use an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or a soft, damp cloth or sponge to clean the inside door window.

After the cycle is complete, leave the door open slightly to allow for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.
Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may find some residue buildup in the washer’s dispensers.
For the Single-Load or Optimal dispenser: Remove the drawer and wipe the surfaces with an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or a damp cloth, and towel dry either before or after you run the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
For the Load & Go™ dispenser: Lift the handle on the dispenser housing and pull to remove it from the washer cabinet; then rinse the dispenser thoroughly with running water. Wipe the outside dispenser surface with an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or a damp cloth, and towel dry. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
Replace the dispenser in the washer cabinet and make sure that it is correctly seated.
IMPORTANT: Dispensers are not dishwasher-safe.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not use abrasive products.
