Cleaning the Dispenser Drawer

Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer. Remove the drawer and inserts and check for buildup once or twice a month.

Warning
  • Do not spray water inside the washer. Doing so may cause fire or electric shock.

  • Turn off the washer, and unplug the power cord.

  • Pull out the dispenser drawer until it stops, and then press the disengage button down to completely remove the drawer.

  • Remove the insert from the compartment.

  • Clean the inserts and drawer with warm water.

    • Use a soft cloth or brush to clean and remove any residue.

    • Do not use soap when cleaning the drawer and inserts.

  • Wipe off any moisture with a dry towel or cloth after cleaning.

  • To clean the drawer opening, use a small, non-metal brush to clean the recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess.

  • Return the inserts to the proper compartments and replace the drawer.

    • Set the drawer into the opening at an angle, then lower it and slide it into place.
