bleach in 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water.

solution and wipe all around the door seal.

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

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters
If the washer does not fill properly, an error
message will appear on the display. The inlet valve
filter screens could be clogged by hard water scale,
sediment in the water supply, or other debris.
WARNING
• The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the
inlet valve from being damaged by particles that
could enter the valves with the water supply.
Operating the washer with these filters removed
could cause a valve to open continuously,
resulting in flooding and/or property damage.
CAUTION
• Do not use the washer without the inlet filters.
Doing so will cause leaks and malfunction.
• If you use the washer in an area with hard water,
the inlet filter may clog due to lime buildup and
require more frequent cleaning.
1
Turn off the washer, and unplug the power
cord.
2
Turn off hot and cold water faucets.
3
Unscrew the hot and cold water hoses from
the back of the washer.
4
Remove the filters from the water valves
carefully.
• Use pliers to pull out the filters from the
water valves.
5
Remove foreign objects and soak the filters in
white vinegar or a lime scale remover.
• If using a lime scale remover, follow the
manufacturer's instructions. Be careful not
to damage the filters while cleaning them.
6
Rinse filters thoroughly and press them back
into place.
7
Flush then reattach the water hoses.
• Before reattaching the water inlet hoses,
flush them by running several gallons of
water through them into a bucket or drain,
