Controls and Settings

Cycle settings

Washing temperature

The appropriate washing temperature will automatically be indicated for the cycle selected. To change the preset temperature, press the temp button to scroll to the desired setting. Select a wash water temperature according to fiber content, colorfastness and soil level.

To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are available with every cycle. If a temperature is not appropriate for the cycle, it cannot be selected and will not be lit by pressing the temp button.

The temperature selected for the cycle will be remembered and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future.

All wash water temperatures are automatically regulated to maximize detergent effectiveness and improve washing performance. The water heater setting and its distance from the washer, water usage in other parts of the home, and seasonally low ground water temperature in some geographic areas can affect water temperature.

sanitize (on select models)

Use the sanitize setting to clean and sanitize heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels, bedding, cloth diapers, and children’s clothing.

It is recommended that you set your water heater to 120°F (49°C) or higher to ensure proper performance during this cycle. If the setting is lower or the load is extra large, the cycle time may be extended.

When used with the heavy duty and whitest whites cycles, the sanitize setting will kill 99.9% of bacteria with no carryover of bacteria between loads. No bleach or harsh chemicals are needed, but higher temperatures are required. Please check fabric care labels to prevent damage.

NOTE The heavy duty and whitest whites with sanitize setting cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of NSF P172 protocol for sanitization efficacy

NOTE The heavy duty and whitest whites with sanitize setting cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of NSF P172 protocol for sanitization efficacy

The wash water is heated by an internal boost heater to a maximum of 152°F (67°C) as the load tumbles. Cold water is added to cool down the load prior to drain and spin.

As a precaution, the washer door remains locked when the water temperature reaches 130°F (55°C)

hot

Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast cottons and blends.

warm

Use this setting for normally soiled white or colorfast cottons or blends.

cold

Some warm water will automatically blend with cold tap supply to achieve a precise cold. Use this setting for lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits, delicates, and hand washables

Soil level

Adjust the wash time based on the soil level of each load. Solid soil (on select models), max (on select models), heavy, normal, light and extra light (on some models) soil levels are available.

Spin speed

Max (on select models), high, medium and low (on some models) spin speeds are available for each cycle. The spin speed and/or duration of final spin vary from model to model and cycle to cycle.

Increasing the spin speed will extract more water, decrease drying time and conserve energy. Decreasing the spin speed will reduce wrinkling.

Select low spin speed (on some models) to gently spin items that should be line dried.

Use no spin to omit the final spin at the end of the cycle. The load will be very wet. Remove items from the wash drum to drip dry or select a spin only cycle to remove excess water at a more convenient time.

Wash cycle options

extra rinse

Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt and detergent. It is recommended for heavily soiled loads or if household members have sensitive skin.

wrinkle release (on select models)

After the final spin, the washer will perform a “dry” agitation to loosen the garments from the side of the drum.

extended refresh (on select models)

Select extended refresh if you will be unable to remove the load right after the cycle is complete. The washer recognizes the load has sat too long and will do a rinse and spin to keep the load fresh for up to 12 hours. When you are ready to remove the load during the extended refresh segment, you must press cancel to end the cycle and open the door.

PODS® (on select models)

Select this option when using a detergent pack in a model equipped with a PODS® button (on select dispenser only). This option will divert the flow of water to the detergent pack compartment optimizing the detergent pack performance.

Control options

control lock

To lock the controls between cycles, scroll to the control lock option and press select. The control lock icon will show on the LED display. To unlock the controls scroll to the control lock option again and press select. Use this feature to reduce the likelihood of accidental operation by children. Washer cycles will not run when control lock is activated.

delay time

Use delay time to delay the start of the washing cycle from 30 minutes to 12 hours. To turn on the delay time option, press options to scroll to the delay time icon and press select. Use the cycles button (300/400 models) or turn the cycle selector (500/600 models) to select the desired delay time and press start. The delay time icon will illuminate on the LED display to indicate the delay time option is activated. The time will begin counting down on the LED display once the washer start/pause button has been pressed.

Operating Instructions

Operating the washer

1. Sort laundry into loads that can be washed together.

  • Sort by recommended cycle and water temperature.
  • Separate white, light, and colorfast items from dark and non-colorfast items.
  • Separate items that shed lint from items that attract lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and corduroy items will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and bedspreads.
  • Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.
  • Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate items from durable items.

DO NOT machine wash items containing fiberglass. Small particles of fiberglass left in drum may transfer to fabrics in other loads and cause skin irritation and/or damage to fabrics.

DO NOT wash water resistant and water repellent type clothing or other materials

2. Prepare items for washing.

  • Empty pockets.
  • Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach towels.
  • Close zippers, fasten hooks, button buttons, and tie strings/sashes. Remove non-washable trims and ornaments.
  • Place delicate and small items (bras, hosiery, etc.) in a mesh bag (not included).

Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage during washing.

Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.

3. Pretreat stains and heavy soil.

  • See stain treatment function in Cycle Options for your particular model or Stain Removal Guide for more information.

4. Add laundry load to wash tub.

  • Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.
  • Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.
  • Washing single items is inefficient and may cause an out-of-balance load. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance load.
  • Wash single heavy items (comforter, sleeping bag, etc.) separately.
  • The washer can be fully loaded, but the items should not be tightly packed. The door should close easily

DO NOT overload the washer.

DO NOT WASH: Water resistant and water repellent clothing or other materials.

5. Add wash products to dispenser.

  • Water conditioners, detergent boosters and enzyme products may be added with detergent.
  • See Adding Laundry Products for detailed information on the use of the product dispensers.
  • See Adding Laundry Products for detailed information on the use of various wash products (detergent, bleach, stain treatment, fabric softener, etc).

Follow manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations when using wash products.

Open and close the dispenser drawer slowly. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of the bleach or fabric softener.

6. Select the cycle and settings for the load.

  • See Cycle Selection, Cycle Settings, and Cycle Options for detailed descriptions of cycle controls.
  • See Cycle Setting Charts to determine which settings are available for each cycle.
  • To provide the best care, not every setting or option is available with every cycle. If a setting or option is not available for the cycle selected, the indicator will not light.

Follow fabric care label instructions on items to be washed.

Make sure that the PODS® option is selected when using models that have a separate detergent pack compartment. See Adding Laundry Detergent to the Adaptive Dispenser™

7. Start the washer.

  • Close the door and press start/pause. The washer will not operate with the door open. “CLOSE DOOR” will be displayed as a reminder to close the door.
  • To add a forgotten item to the washer any time during the wash portion of the cycle, press start/pause. When the door unlocks, open the door, add the item, close the door and press start/pause to resume cycle.
  • To change settings or options after the cycle has begun, press start/pause, change the settings, and then press start/pause. If the cycle is not paused first, the unit will emit several beeps when the buttons are pressed but no changes to the cycle will be applied.
  • To change the cycle once the cycle has begun, press cancel to cancel the cycle, select the new cycle, and press start/ pause to begin the new cycle. Changing a cycle selection without cancelling the current WILL NOT change the cycle.
  • To cancel a cycle, press cancel.
  • A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if the chime option is not set to mute.

DO NOT force door open. As a safety measure, the door will automatically lock during the entire wash cycle. Pause or cancel the wash load to unlock the door.

If the cycle is interrupted during spin, the door lock will not release until the tub has stopped spinning.

If the water level is above the bottom of the door opening/flexible door gasket, the lock will not release.

8. Remove items from washer when cycle has ended.

  • Remove items when the cycle ends and place in dryer, line dry or dry flat as directed on the fabric care label.

Excess wrinkling, color transfer or odors may develop in items left in the washer after the cycle has ended.

Care and Cleaning

Outside routine cleaning

  • When washing is completed, wipe top and sides of washer with a damp cloth.
  • Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers
  • If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several times with clear water.
  • Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of tape.
  • When cleaning chrome parts, it is best to use only a damp cloth.
  • Before moving the washer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the floor.

IMPORTANT DO NOT store or place laundry products on top of washer at any time. They can damage the finish or controls. It is recommended to keep laundry products in the storage drawer between cycles if installed on a pedestal.

Winterizing instructions

  1. Turn off water supply faucets.
  2. Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain water from hoses. Vacuum out each water supply inlet with a waterproof utility vac to ensure water valves are completely drained. Damage will occur if water in water inlet valves are allowed to freeze.
