Frequently Asked Questions - MHWS18 Cambro

How do I clean the lint filter on my Cambro MHWS18?

The lint filter is located inside the drum at the bottom. Pull it out, remove lint, rinse under water, and reinsert. Clean after every cycle for optimal performance.

What should I do if the washing machine doesn't start?

Check that the door is fully closed and the child lock is not activated. Ensure power cord is plugged into a working outlet and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.

How often should I clean the drain pump filter?

Clean the drain pump filter monthly to prevent clogging. Access it from the bottom front panel. Remove any debris and rinse.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The MHWS18 can handle up to 18 lbs (8.2 kg) of dry laundry. Overloading may cause poor cleaning and excessive vibration.

Can I use both hot and cold water?

How do I reset the child lock?

What should I do if water is leaking?
