Whirlpool W10338690B SP User Manual

Add a measured amount of HE detergent  

into detergent tray. This tray holds 3 oz.  

(89 mL). Do not overfill tray – adding too much detergent may 

cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The 

package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water 

washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE 

detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in longer 

cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also 

result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. 

HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of 

suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer’s 

instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.  
HELPFUL TIP: See “Washer Maintenance” for information  

on recommended method of cleaning washer dispenser trays.

Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener  

into tray, always follow manufacturer’s directions  

for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. 

Close dispenser drawer, then select Fabric Softener option. 
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected to  

ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not 

overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener 

to immediately dispense into washer. 
If Extra Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be 

dispensed into the last rinse.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the 

dispenser at the end of a cycle. 

Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250 mL).  

Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same  

cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly 

around the washplate. Do not load  

garments directly over the center  

of the washplate; when loaded, the  

center of the washplate should be  

visible. Try mixing different sized  

garments to reduce tangling.

IMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning 

and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, color-safe 

bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals to 

dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.
