MAINTENANCE 37
Cleaning the Door Seal
Clean the door seal once a month to prevent build-up of
dirt.
CAUTION
• Cleaning the door seal with undiluted bleach may cause
malfunction of the door seal and washer parts. You
must add water to the bleach before using it.
1 Wear rubber gloves and protective goggles.
2 Dilute 3/4 cup (177 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach in 1
gallon (3.8 L) of water.
3 Wipe around the door seal.
• Soak a sponge or a soft cloth in this diluted
solution and wipe all around the door seal.
4 Wipe up any moisture with a dry towel or cloth after
cleaning.
5 Leave the door open to allow the door seal to dry
completely.
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters
If the washer does not fill properly, an error message will
appear on the display. The inlet valve filter screens could
be clogged by hard water scale, sediment in the water
supply, or other debris.
WARNING
• The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the inlet
valve from being damaged by particles that could enter
the valves with the water supply. Operating the washer
with these filters removed could cause a valve to open
continuously, resulting in flooding and/or property
damage.
• Do not use the washer without the inlet filters. Doing so
will cause leaks and malfunction.
• If you use the washer in an area with hard water, the
inlet filter may clog due to lime buildup and require
more frequent cleaning.
1 Turn off the washer, and unplug the power cord.
2 Turn off hot and cold water faucets.
3 Unscrew the hot and cold water hoses from the
back of the washer.
4 Remove the filters from the water valves carefully.
• Use pliers to pull out the filters from the water
valves.
5 Remove foreign objects and soak the filters in white
vinegar or a lime scale remover.
• If using a lime scale remover, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Be careful not to
damage the filters while cleaning them.
6 Rinse filters thoroughly and press them back into
place.
7 Flush then reattach the water hoses.
• Before reattaching the water inlet hoses, flush
them by running several gallons of water through
them into a bucket or drain, preferably with the
faucets wide open for maximum flow.
NOTE
• An IE error message may blink on the display when the
water pressure is low or an inlet filter is clogged with
dirt. Clean the inlet filter.
Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter
The washer fails to drain if the drain pump filter is
clogged. Periodically clean the drain filter to prevent
clogging with foreign objects.
• Opening the drain filter will result in water overflowing
if there is water in the drum. Use a bucket if the drum is
not completely drained before you open the drain
filter.
