FAQs
How do I clean the detergent dispenser?
Remove the dispenser and wash it under warm, running water. Use a soft brush to remove any detergent buildup. Allow it to dry completely before reinserting.
How often should I clean the drain filter?
Clean the drain filter every month or more often if you notice a decrease in performance or an unusual odor. This helps prevent blockages.
What should I do if the machine is vibrating excessively?
Make sure the machine is level. Check that the load is balanced and not overloaded. Distribute items evenly inside the drum.
Can I use fabric softener?
Yes, use fabric softener in the designated compartment of the detergent dispenser. Follow the instructions on the fabric softener product.
What is the purpose of the FreshCare+ feature?
FreshCare+ keeps clothes fresh by gently tumbling them after the wash cycle, preventing wrinkles and odors if you can't remove them immediately.
How do I select the quick wash cycle?
Refer to the control panel, where you will find a dedicated quick wash option, usually labeled with a time (e.g., 30 minutes).

Please refer to the product documentation or contact Whirlpool customer service for specific warranty information. Typically, it covers manufacturing defects for a certain period.
