Care Amana Recommends for Its Washers
- Run the Clean Washer cycle with a washer cleaning tablet about once a month to clear detergent and softener residue. Source: Amana - HE Detergent use in a Washer
- Use only HE detergent, dosed for the load size and soil level, because too much causes oversudsing, longer cycles and poor rinsing. Source: Amana - HE Detergent use in a Washer
