To start a wash cycle, load your laundry into the washer, add detergent, select the desired cycle using the control panel, and press the 'Start' button.
Check if the washer is plugged in, ensure the door is closed properly, verify the water supply is turned on, and inspect the circuit breaker or fuse box.
Remove the detergent dispenser tray by pulling it out until it stops, then press the release lever. Wash it with warm water and mild detergent, then rinse and dry before reinserting.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the detergent dispenser, checking the water inlet filters, inspecting hoses for wear, and running a drum cleaning cycle monthly.
Ensure the washer is level, redistribute the load evenly, and make sure the shipping bolts have been removed from the back of the machine.
Check for clogs in the drain hose, ensure the drain hose is not kinked, and inspect the filter and pump for blockages.
Unplug the washer from the power source for at least 1 minute, then plug it back in. This can help reset the control board.
Leave the door open after each wash to allow the interior to dry, regularly clean the door seal, and use a washer cleaner monthly.
Locate the filter access panel at the bottom front of the washer. Open the panel, remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise, and clean it under running water.
The washer offers a variety of cycles including Normal, Delicates, Heavy Duty, Quick Wash, and Rinse & Spin. Each cycle is designed for specific fabric types and soil levels.
