Cleaning the Interior - All-In-One Washer Dryer

Possible Solutions

Have you performed the "Clean Washer" cycle, or has the "Clean Washer Cycle Reminder" message flashed?

Clean Washer Cycle Reminder

The Clean Washer with affresh® message will flash at the end of a wash cycle when the washer has run 30 wash cycles. This is a reminder to run the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle. If the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle is not run, the message will stop flashing at the end of a wash cycle after running three more regular wash cycles. After 30 more wash cycles are completed, the Clean Washer with affresh® message will again flash at the end of a wash cycle as a reminder.

Are you using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in your washer?
