Tech Tip
If your HE (front or top load High Efficiency) machine is putting off an odor, use one Affresh tablet in a wash cycle per directions on the package. This product is specifically designed to remove odors and mildew and works exceptionally well.
Tech Tip
WELL WATER! If you are on a well system or have high sediment content in your water, insert screened hose washers in the end of both washing machine fill hoses where they attach to the external supply faucets. These screens will prevent the washing machine fill valve from collecting the debris in its screens and clogging up causing slow fill times. You may have to replace these screens periodically. It is not recommended to try and clean the screens.
