“I hear water sloshing when I move the basket, I haven't done a load in 24 hours and from the past washes some of the clothes have bleach stains. How do I take the washer apart to make sure it's dry or free from bleach?”

Hi Denice- The "sloshing" sounds is normal. The washer is equipped with a balance ring. The balance ring is an enclosed plastic container that is partially filled with a salt water solution. The two halves of the balance ring are welded together to form a permanent seal. It is attached to the inner clothes basket and allows the basket to spin smoothly if an uneven load creates an out-of-balance situation. As part of the normal operation, there may be some water left between the tub and the basket. Liquid chlorine bleach should be added through the bleach dispenser in the front left corner. Follow bleach manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount of liquid chlorine bleach based on load size, taking care to not apply or spill it directly on clothing. NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.
