Using the ezDispense Function

When the ezDispense function is turned on, the liquid detergent and softener are dispensed in the set amounts, at the appropriate time during the cycle.

  • Close lid and cover of the compartment securely before use. If not, the detergent and softner will harden or overflow.

  • Slide the detergent dispenser drawer out or in slowly and use both hands for safety. Failure to do so can damage the washer or cause the detergent or softener to leak out of the ventilation holes.

  • Detergent or fabric softener left in the ezDispense compartments for an extended period may harden and fail to dispense properly.

  • Do not remove the dispenser drawer while the product is in operation.

Manual Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. It is recommended that powdered detergent be used in this compartment.

  • Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the manual main wash compartment with detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids and powders.

  • If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue and clog the dispenser.

  • Be sure to turn off the ezDispense function.
