You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING – Risk of Fire”

Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials or flexible metal (foil type) duct. If flexible metal duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
Save these instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When discarding or storing your old clothes dryer, remove the door.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer/dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the washer/dryer.
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously Cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer/dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer/dryer is used near children.
Before the washer/dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the doors to the washer/dryer compartments.
Do not reach into the washer/dryer if the tub, agitator or drum is moving.
Do not install or store the washer/dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Clean dryer lint screan before or after each load.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washing machine, tum on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer/dryer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to Carry out.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
The interior of the machine and dryer exhaust vent should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.

Lid Lock
To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the Lid Lock light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened. When this light is blinking, the washer is paused. When this light is off, the lid can be opened. After a cycle is started, the washer will fill to the appropriate water level. When the washer is done filling, it will start to agitate. If you need to open the lid to add a garment after this point, the lid will remain unlocked during the entire agitation portion of the wash phase. The cycle will automatically pause when the lid is opened, and the cycle will resume once the lid is closed and you press the Start/Pause button. The lid will lock before the spin phase begins. If you need to pause or stop after this point, you must press the START/PAUSE button and wait for the lid to unlock. The lid will only unlock after washer movement has stopped. Depending on when in the cycle you try to pause, it may take several seconds to several minutes for the lid to unlock (for example, 1 minute if the cycle is in the spin phase). Press the START/PAUSE button to resume the cycle.

Sounds
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and pauses that are different from those of your previous washer. For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning of the spin phase as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There will be different kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the washplate tests for load balance or moves the load. And sometimes, you may hear nothing at all as the washer determines the correct water level for your load or allows time for clothes to soak.

Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component malfunction and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil in suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds. Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

IMPORTANT: The lid must be closed before the washer basket fills with water and for the wash cycle to start. If the lid is open and filling stops, close the lid and press the START/PAUSE button to complete the cycle.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW

Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

Good airflow
Along with heat, dryers require good airflow to efficiently dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions. The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good airflow. Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who installed the dryer.

Maintain good airflow:

Clean your lint screen before each load.
Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4″ (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces airflow.
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final product check.
Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

Use Automatic cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Dry cycles, drying air temperature or moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle, and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness.
With Timed Drying, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to overdrying. Use Timed Drying for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time.

USING YOUR WASHER

Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Sort and prepare your laundry

• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the agitator and become trapped, causing unexpected sounds.
• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
• Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because heat can set stains into fabric.
• Treat stains promptly.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing.
Helpful Tips:
• When washing waterproof or water-resistant items, load evenly.
• Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or small items.
• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint- givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Whirlpool WASHERDRYER - USING YOUR WASHER 2

Add laundry products
IMPORTANT: Add a measured amount of detergent or single-dose laundry packet into the basket. If you are using color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals, add to the wash basket prior to adding laundry. NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of laundry products to use. Manufacturer suggests using HE detergent.
Load laundry into washer
** For best performance, load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Try mixing different-sized items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
NOTE:** The maximum volume is about 1.52 cubic ft. (4.4 lb max. load size per cubic ft.).
Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser
Bleach will be dispensed automatically during the wash part of the cycle. Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (236 mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
Add liquid fabric softener
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into dispenser; always follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Fabric Softener is added during rinse.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer. It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser at the end of a cycle.
NOTE: The fabric softener dispenser rotates around the wash basket and may not be in the same spot each time.

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and Performing at Its Best

Always use High Efficiency Detergents and follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing residue.

Cleaning Your Top-Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the Inside of the Washer
To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions provided above and use this recommended monthly cleaning procedure:

Recommended Cycle for Cleaning the Washer
Refer to the “Cycle Guide” for the optimal cycle for cleaning the inside of the washer. Use this cycle with affresh® Washer Cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach as described below.

Begin procedure
Washer Cleaner Cycle Procedure (Recommended for Best Performance):

a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.
b. Use an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or a soft, damp cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the door.
c. Place an affesh® Washer Cleaner tablet in the bottom of the washer basket.
d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the washer when following this procedure.
e. Close the washer lid.
f. Select the Clean Washer cycle.
g. Press and hold START/PAUSE to begin the cycle.

NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must be interrupted, press POWER ON/OFF. After the Clean Washer cycle has stopped, run a Rinse cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.

Chlorine Bleach Procedure (Alternative):

a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.
b. Add 1 cup (236 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.
NOTE: Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is recommended above could cause washer damage over time.
c. Close the washer lid.
d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the washer when following this procedure.
e. Select the Clean Washer cycle.
f. Press and hold START/PAUSE to begin the cycle. The Clean Washer Cycle Operation is described below.

NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must be interrupted, press POWER ON/OFF. After the Clean Washer cycle has stopped, run a Rinse cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.

Description of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:
During this cycle, there will be some agitation and spinning to increase the removal of soils. After the cycle is complete, leave the lid open to allow for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.

Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may find some residue buildup in the washer’s dispensers. To remove residue from the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth and towel dry. Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or trim for cleaning. The dispensers and trim are not removable. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.

Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills. Use only an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external washer surfaces. IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not use abrasive products.

Cleaning The Lint Filter
Clean filter after every load.

Press down, then out, to remove the lint filter.
Open the lint filter, remove lint, and clean with water.
Insert the lint filter bottom first; then press down and in to replace the fliter.

CLEANING THE WASHER/DRYER LOCATION

Keep washer/dryer area clear and free from items that would block the airflow for proper washer/dryer operation. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the washer/dryer.

Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR

To clean dryer drum:

Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until stain is removed.
Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.
NOTE: Garments that contain loose dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside out to avoid drum staining.

REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT

From Inside the Dryer Cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified servicer.

From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.

CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN

Every load cleaning
A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
The lint screen is located inside the dryer on the back wall.

To clean:

Pull out the lint screen and its cover. Separate the cover and the screen by squeezing the screen and pulling on the cover at the same time. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash the screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
Put the lint screen and its cover back together and push firmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
•If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.

As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.

To wash:

Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
Rinse screen with hot water.
Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel.
Reinstall screen in dryer.

CHANGING THE DRUM LIGHT (on some models)

Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover on the back wall of the dryer. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screw located in the lower right-hand corner of the cover. Remove the cover.
Turn bulb counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with a 10-watt appliance bulb only. Replace the cover and secure with the screw.
Plug into a grounded outlet or reconnect power.

If you experience	Possible Causes	Solution

V ibration or Off-Balance
Vibration, rocking, or “walking”| Feet may not be in contact with the floor and locked.| Front and rear feet or casters must be in firm contact with floor, and washer/dryer must be level to operate properly.
Washer may not be level.| Check floor for flexing or sagging. If flooring is uneven, a 3/4″ (19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.
See “Level the Washer/Dryer” in the Installation Instructions.
Vibration during spinning or washer stopped| Load could be unbalanced.| Load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket could unbalance washer.
Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug or jeans jacket with a few extra items. Redistribute the load, close the lid, and press START/PAUSE.
Item or load not suitable for selected cycle. See “Cycle Guide” and “Using Your Washer.”
Noises
Clicking or metallic noises| Objects may be caught in washer drain system.| Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins could fall between basket and tub or may block pump. It may be necessary to call for service to remove items.

The Air Only cycle has been selected.| Select the correct cycle for the types of garments being dried. See “Dryer Cycle Guide.”
Load too large and heavy to dry quickly.| Separate the load to tumble freely.
Exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint, restricting air movement.| Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. Make sure vent is not crushed or kinked. See Installation Instructions.
Fabric softener sheets blocking the grille.| Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
Exhaust vent not the correct length.| Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times. Make sure vent is not crushed or kinked. See Installation Instructions.
Exhaust vent diameter not the correct size.| Use 4″ (102 mm) diameter vent material.
Dryer located in a room with temperature below 45°F (7°C).| Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45°F (7°C).
Dryer located in a closet without adequate opening.| Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 1′ (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5° (127 mm). See Installation Instructions.
Dryer will not run| Door not closed completely.| Make sure the dryer door is closed completely.
Start button not pressed firmly or held long enough.| Press and hold the START button until you hear the dryer drum moving.

Cycle time too short| Automatic cycle ending early.| 120V models: The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer.
Use Turned Drying for very small loads. Change the Dryness Level setting on the Normal and Delicate cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the Dryness Level setting will change the amount of drying time in a cycle.
Lint on load| Lint screen clogged.| Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Stains on load or drum| Dryer fabric softener not property used.| Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled| Load not removed from dryer at the end of the cycle.| Run the Air Only cycle to tumble the load without heat to avoid wrinkling.
Dryer tightly packed.| Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely to reduce the chance of wrinkles forming.
Odors| You have recently been painting. staining. or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located.| Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area. rewash and dry the clothing.
The dryer is being used for the first time.| The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle.
Load is too hot| Laundry items were removed from the dryer before the end of the cycle.| All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling and make it easier to handle. Items removed before the cool down may feel very warm.
A high temperature cycle was used.| Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle. These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness. This reduces overdrying.
