What items should I not wash or dry in my Whirlpool washing machine?

Do not wash water-resistant or water-repellent clothing, as this can cause abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance conditions that could result in injury or appliance damage. Additionally, do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils), as no washer can completely remove oil and this is a serious fire hazard.

How should I dry items containing foam, rubber, or plastic?

Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle rather than in a traditional dryer to prevent fire hazards.
