Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I remove the door gasket for cleaning?
Unplug the washer. Locate the retaining clips (usually around the perimeter of the gasket where it meets the washer cabinet). Use a 1/4-inch nut driver or a flathead screwdriver to carefully release the clips. Once all clips are released, the gasket should pull away from the cabinet. Be mindful of the orientation for reinstallation.
•What type of washer cleaner should I use?
Use a washer cleaner specifically designed for HE (High Efficiency) washers. These cleaners are formulated to remove detergent residue, mold, and mildew. Follow the instructions on the cleaner's packaging. Affresh is a common brand.
•Is it safe to use bleach in my washing machine?
Yes, bleach can be used in most washing machines, especially for cleaning purposes. However, use it sparingly and always dilute it with water as described above. Avoid using bleach on colored fabrics unless you are certain it won't cause discoloration. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific machine.
