CHOOSING RIGHT DETERGENT

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive
sudsing with a non-HE detergent. 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. Do not go over the Max
Line on the dispenser. See Quick Start Guide for more
information.

WASHER MAINTENANCE AND

CARE

Water Inlet Hoses

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose
failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges,
kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses:
Mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent
marker.
Check that the old washers are not stuck on the washer inlet
valves.
Use new washers in the new inlet hoses to ensure a proper
seal.
NOTE: This washer may not include inlet hoses. See the
Installation Instructions for more information.

Washer Care

Recommendations to help keep your washer

clean and performing at its best

1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE
detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of
HE 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.
2. 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.
3. 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:

chlorine bleach to clean the inside of the washer.
If your model does not have a “Clean Washer” cycle, refer to the
online Cycle Guide for the optimal cycle for cleaning the inside of
the washer. Use this cycle with affresh

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Maytag MVW5435PW below.

What temperature should I use for my laundry?

The washing label of your garment shows the recommended washing temperature.

Do I need to use an anti-scaling agent for my washing machine?

It is not necessary to use an anti-scaling agent. Scale deposits can be prevented by limiting washing at high temperatures and using the recommended amount of detergent per wash.

How do I prevent my washing machine from smelling?

Unpleasant odours can be avoided by occasionally washing at 60 degrees and using the recommended amount of detergent per wash.

What type of detergent should I use with the Maytag MVW5435PW washing machine to avoid excessive sudsing?

To avoid excessive sudsing with the Maytag MVW5435PW washing machine, use only High Efficiency (HE) detergents. These detergents are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing, ensuring the right amount of suds for optimal performance. HE detergents hold soil in suspension to prevent redepositing onto clean clothes. Look for detergents marked "HE" or "High Efficiency" on the package. Not all HE detergents are the same, so choose one that reduces suds effectively. Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions for the correct amount to use and avoid exceeding the recommended dosage. Using non-HE detergents can lead to longer cycle times, reduced rinsing performance, and potential component malfunction. Always adhere to these guidelines for best results.

How often should I replace the water inlet hoses of the washing machine to reduce the risk of hose failure?

To reduce the risk of hose failure, replace the water inlet hoses of your Maytag MVW5435PW washing machine every 5 years. Keep a record of the installation or replacement dates for future reference. Periodically inspect the hoses for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks, and replace them if any issues are found. When attaching the hoses, do not overtighten them or use tape or sealants on the valve to prevent damage. Attach the hot water hose to the red hot water inlet valve and the cold water hose to the cold water inlet valve. Check for leaks by turning on the water faucets. Secure the drain hose properly to avoid leaks. Level the washer to reduce excess noise and vibration by ensuring all four feet make solid contact with the floor.

What are the recommendations for keeping the washer clean and performing at its best?

1. Use High Efficiency (HE) detergents as they are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing, ensuring the right amount of suds for optimal performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the amount to use and avoid exceeding the recommended quantity to prevent detergent and soil residue buildup. 2. Occasionally utilize warm and hot wash water settings, in addition to cold water washes, to better control the accumulation of soils and detergents inside the washer. 3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to facilitate drying and prevent the development of odor-causing residue. 4. Perform a monthly cleaning procedure using affresh® Washer Cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach to maintain a clean and odor-free washer. Follow the recommended cycle for cleaning the inside of the washer, ensuring proper ventilation and drying after completion.
