To keep your Whirlpool WTW5057LW top-load washer fresh and performing optimally, regular cleaning is key. Here's a straightforward guide:
-
Cleaning the Washer's Interior: If your model includes a 'Clean Washer' cycle, utilize it with a washing machine cleaner like affresh or liquid chlorine bleach. Always adhere to the manual's instructions for the correct amount of cleaner. If your machine lacks this cycle, consult the online Cycle Guide for the most suitable cleaning cycle, and again, use affresh or liquid chlorine bleach as directed in your manual.
-
Cleaning the Dispensers: For dispensers that aren't removable, wipe them down using an affresh Machine Cleaning Wipe or a damp cloth, then towel dry. Avoid removing any dispenser components for cleaning. If your dispensers are removable, take the drawer out and clean it with an affresh Machine Cleaning Wipe or a damp cloth, drying thoroughly. An all-purpose surface cleaner can be used if needed.
-
Cleaning the Washer's Exterior: For any spills or marks on the outside, use an affresh Machine Cleaning Wipe, a soft, damp cloth, or a sponge to wipe them away. Refrain from using abrasive cleaners, as these could harm the washer's finish.
To prevent the build-up of odor-causing residue, remember to leave the washer lid open between wash cycles to allow the interior to dry. Regular adherence to these cleaning steps will help your Whirlpool WTW5057LW top-load washer remain clean and efficient. For further detailed guidance, always refer to your washer's owner's manual.
