Removing Mineral Buildup

In areas with hard water, mineral scale can form on internal components of the washer. Periodically clean the mineral buildup on the internal components to extend the lifespan of the washer. Use of a water softener is recommended in areas with hard water.

Leaving the Door Open

After you finish using the appliance, leave the door open overnight to allow air to circulate and dry the drum. This helps prevent odors. In high-traffic areas or where space is tight, use the magnetic door stop to keep the door slightly ajar.

  • To use the provided door stop (on some models), slide it over the edge of the open door so that the open loop on the end surrounds the prongs of the latch.

  • Close the door. The door stop should keep the door slightly ajar, allowing air into the drum.

  • When not in use, the magnet on the door stop can be used to store it on the side of the product.
