Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I run the "Clean Washer with affresh®" cycle?

A: The MTW4205SW has a special cycle for cleaning the interior of the washer.

• Run the cycle approximately every 30 washes.
• Use 1 affresh® washer cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine bleach.
• Do not add laundry or detergent during this cycle.

Q: How does the Deep Fill option work?

A: The Deep Fill option adds extra water to the wash cycle, ideal for:

• Heavily soiled loads
• Extra soaking needs
• Note: The Bulky Items cycle automatically uses the deepest water level available.

Q: What should I do if my washer won’t spin?

A: Try these troubleshooting steps:

• Check the lid switch: If it's faulty or not engaged, the washer won’t spin.
• Balance the load: Unevenly distributed clothes can prevent the spin cycle from starting. Rearrange the load evenly in the drum.
• Inspect the drain hose: Make sure it’s not clogged or kinked, as drainage problems can stop the spin cycle from progressing.

Q: Why is my washer making loud banging or knocking sounds?

A: Loud noises could mean:

• Unbalanced load: Common during spin cycles—redistribute the laundry.
• Worn suspension rods: Damaged suspension rods or shock absorbers can cause the drum to hit the sides.
• Foreign objects: Check for loose items (e.g., coins, buttons) inside the drum or caught in the agitator.

Q: What should I do if the washer is stuck on the “Sensing” phase?

A: The issue could be related to the following:

• Faulty lid switch or sensor: The washer may think the lid is open and won’t move forward.
• Overloaded tub: If the load is too large or uneven, the washer may struggle to sense it properly. Try removing or redistributing items.

• Electrical or software issue: A power surge or internal glitch may freeze the sensing cycle. Try unplugging the washer for 1–5 minutes and restart.
