Using the Detergent and Softener Dispenser Drawer
To add detergent and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser drawer:
Open the dispenser drawer.
Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.
Liquid fabric softener compartment
Main wash liquid detergent cup
Insert
Main wash powdered detergent compartment
Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer before starting the cycle.
Slamming the drawer closed may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or dispensing into the drum earlier than programmed.
Be careful not to get a hand caught in the drawer while closing.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.
- Main Wash Detergent Compartment
The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washer.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.
Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids and powders.
When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent cup and insert are in place.
When using powdered detergent, remove the insert c and liquid detergent cup b from the dispenser. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.
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.
- Fabric Softener Compartment
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes.
Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water.
Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the tub.
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used in this compartment.
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.
