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:

Recommended cycle for cleaning the Washer

volumes in combination with affresh
®
Washer Cleaner or liquid
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 Whirlpool WTW5015LW 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.

Why is my washing machine not turning on?

Check if the power cord is properly plugged into the electrical outlet and ensure there is power supply. Additionally, ensure the lid is closed properly as some models may not start if the lid is not securely latched.

Why is my washing machine not filling with water?

Make sure the water supply faucets are fully turned on. Inspect the water hose connections at the back of the machine to ensure they are securely attached. Also, verify that the water inlet valve screens are not clogged.

My washing machine is not draining properly, what could be the cause?

Check if the drain hose is correctly installed, ensuring it is not kinked, twisted, or clogged. Ensure that the pump filter is clean and free from debris. Also, verify that the drain hose is not inserted too far into the standpipe, as this can cause siphoning.

Why is my washing machine not spinning during the cycle?

Ensure the load is properly balanced inside the drum. Large and heavy items may cause an imbalance, resulting in the machine not spinning. Additionally, check if the lid is closed tightly, as some models have a safety feature that stops spinning if the lid is not secure.

My clothes are not getting cleaned properly, what should I do?

Confirm that you are using the recommended amount of detergent according to the load size and soil level. Make sure the selected wash cycle is appropriate for the type of garments you are washing. Consider sorting the laundry by fabric type and adjust the water temperature setting accordingly.
