Self Clean and Self Dry

Self Clean and Self Dry

The Self Clean+ cycle prevents product buildup and odors from occurring and keeps the drum clean. You can perform a Self Clean+ cycle once per month or every 40 cycles. You can also perform a Self Dry cycle to thoroughly dry the drum’s interior and prevent odors. Make sure to empty the drum before using these cycles.

 

Self Clean+

  1. Tap the Power icon, and then select Product Care on the cycle screen.
  2. Select Self Clean+.

    Note: The water temperature for the Self Clean+ cycle defaults to Extra Hot. This cannot be changed.
  3. Do not add any detergent or chemicals. Tap Clean now to begin the cycle.

    Note: If you have persistent residue in the drum, you can use bleach during Self Clean+ cycle by pouring it in the manual detergent compartment, but you must not put bleach in that compartment during any other cycle.
  4. If there is remaining residue after the cycle finishes, run a Rinse+Spin cycle after the Self Clean+ cycle to remove it. 

Important: If you used bleach during the clean cycle, be sure to wipe out any residue. Leaving rust in the drum for long periods of time can cause rust.

 

After every 40 cycles, the Laundry Combo will display the following message for one hour: “Time to run Self Clean+. Press Clean now to start the Product Care cycle.” This reminder message will appear for five consecutive cycles. The next reminder will not appear until another 40 cycles have been completed.

  3. Tap Clean now to begin the cycle.

    Note: A Self Dry alert message will appear after every 30 cycles.
