and run the Prewash cycle without any wash load in
the drum.
Inside
• Remove items from the washer as soon as the
cycle ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and
odors may develop in items left in the washer.
• Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the
electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock
hazards.
• Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket,
and door glass. These areas should always be
clean to ensure a water tight seal.
• When extremely soiled items have been washed,
a dirty residue may remain on the drum. Remove
this by wiping the drum with a nonabrasive household
cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water.
• The plastic drum vanes may become stained from
fabric dye. Clean these parts with a nonabrasive
household cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to
future loads.
Winterizing Instructions
If the washer is stored in an area where freezing can
occur or moved in freezing temperatures, follow these
winterizing instructions to prevent damage to the washer:
1. Turn off water supply faucets.
2. Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain
water from hoses.
3. Plug electrical cord into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.
4. Add 1 gallon (3.8 L) nontoxic recreational vehicle
(RV) antifreeze to empty wash drum. Close door.
5. Set cycle selector knob at a spin setting. Pull out
knob and let washer spin for 1 minute to drain out
all water. Not all of the RV antifreeze will be
expelled.
6. Push in knob, unplug electrical power cord, dry
drum interior, and close door.
7. Remove dispenser drawer. Drain any water in
compartments and dry compartments. Replace
drawer.
8. Store washer in an upright position.

run empty washer through a complete cycle using
detergent. Do not add wash load.
High pitch "jet engine" noise.
Rattling and clanking noise.
Squealing sound or hot rubber odor.
Thumping sound.
• A certain amount of motor whine is normal during the spin cycle.
• Foreign objects such as coins or safety pins may be in drum or pump.
Stop washer and check drum. If noise continues after washer is
restarted, objects may be in pump. Call your authorized servicer.
• Belt buckles and metal fasteners are hitting wash drum. To prevent
unnecessary noise and damage to drum, fasten fasteners and turn
items inside out.
• Washer is overloaded. Do not overload washer. Stop washer and
reduce load.
• Heavy wash loads may produce a thumping sound. This is usually
normal. If sound continues, washer is probably out of balance. Stop
washer and redistribute wash load.
