clothing or items from the washer.
2. Be sure the door is closed.
3. Open the dispenser drawer and immediately
add 2/3 cup (160 mL) of liquid chlorine
bleach to the bleach compartment.

door will unlock, lock again, and then the
cycle will continue.
• The machine will not fill, but the basket
will rotate while the washer runs a short
sensing cycle. This will take approx-
imately 3 minutes.
7. The cycle will determine if clothing or other
items are in the washer.
a) If no items are detected in the washer, it
will proceed to step 8.
b) If any items are detected in the washer,
all cycle lights will flash and the WASH
and CONTROLS LOCKED lights will
remain lit. The door will unlock.
Press PAUSE/CANCEL to cancel the
failure code. Then repeat steps 1, 2 and
6 to start the cycle again.
8. Once the cycle has begun, allow the cycle
to be completed.
9. After the cycle is complete, leave the door
open, slightly, to allow for better ventilation
and drying of washer interior.
Always do the following to maintain washer
freshness:
• Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
• Leave the door slightly open after each
cycle to allow for better ventilation and
drying of washer interior.
• Repeat the cleaning procedure monthly,
using 2/3 cup (160 mL) of liquid chlorine
bleach.
• If the procedure does not sufficiently
improve the machine freshness, please
evaluate your installation and usage condi-
tions for other causes.
