IMPORTANT:

• After the washer basket lls to the selected water level, the lid must be closed before the wash cycle can start.

If lling stops with the lid open, close lid and press START button.

• Rinse option must be selected to 1 Rinse with Softener or 2 Rinses with Softener to ensure fabric softener

dispenses at the correct time.

Sounds

At different stages of the wash cycle, you may

hear sounds and pauses that are different from

those of your previous washer. For example, you

may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning of

the cycle as the lid lock goes through a self-test.

There will be different kinds of humming and

whirring sounds as the agitator tests for load

balance or moves the load. And, sometimes,

you may hear nothing at all as the washer allows

time for clothes to soak.

Spray Rinse

Select cycles default to a spray rinse. During these

cycles, you will hear water enter the washer as the

tub spins, allowing the rinse water to penetrate

clothes. Check the “Cycle Guide” for details.

WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.

Lid Lock

To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and

the Lid Locked light will turn on. When this light is

lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened. When

this light is blinking, the washer is paused. When

this light is off, the lid can be opened. After a cycle

is started, water will enter washer and then lock. If

you need to open the lid to add a garment after this

point, you must press START/Pause and wait for the

lid to unlock. The lid will only unlock after washer

movement has stopped. Depending on when in the

cycle you try to pause, it may take several seconds

to several minutes for the lid to unlock. Press START/

Pause to resume the cycle.

Sensing

This washer will perform a series of spins to check

for load balance. During this time, a series of clicks

and a whirring noise signal that sensing technology

is determining if there is an off-balance load.
