About the washer features.
For models WBVH5100, WBVH5200 and GBVH5140
The Dispenser Drawer
Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling it out until it stops.
After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of the bleach, fabric softener or detergent.
You may see water in the bleach and fabric softener compartments at the end of the cycle. This is a result of the flushing/siphoning action and is part of the normal operation of the washer.

The Detergent Compartment
■High efficiency detergent is required for this washer. Use the detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount.
The detergent selection insert must be placed in the detergent compartment in a specific position according to what type of detergent you are using.
■Powder Detergent – Place the insert in the rear position. The Powder Icons must line up on center when the insert is in the powder position.
■Liquid Detergent – Place the insert in the forward position. The Liquid Icons must line up on center when the insert is in the liquid position.
Move the insert by pulling it up and replace it by sliding it down between either the rear or front detergent compartment molded rails, as desired, for powder or liquid detergent.
■Add measured detergent to the front left detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.
■Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent can be used.
■Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. Avoid using too much detergent in your washer as it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.
