Whirlpool WET4024EW Manuel Du Propriétaire

1.   Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions 

regarding the amount of 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.

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. To keep washer 

interior odor-free, follow this recommended monthly cleaning 

procedure:

a.   Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.
b.  Place an affesh

®

 Washer Cleaner tablet in the bottom  

 

of the washer basket. 

c.  Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the  

 

washer when following this procedure.

d.  Close the washer lid.
e.  Select Normal 14 (27" models) or Super Wash  

(24" models) cycle, Hot Temperature, and Heavy  

Soil Level. 

f.  Pull out the Cycle knob. Water will pour into washer  

 

for a moment and then pause; the lid will lock and  

 

the cycle will continue.

NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must  

be interrupted, push in the Cycle knob.

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.

recommended above could cause washer damage
