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 Lock 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, the washer will ll to the
appropriate water level. When the washer is done lling,
it will start to agitate. If you need to open the lid to add a
garment after this point, the lid will remain unlocked during
the entire agitation portion of the wash phase. The cycle
will automatically pause when the lid is opened, and the
cycle will resume once the lid is closed and you press the
Start/Pause button. The lid will lock before the spin phase
begins. If you need to pause or stop after this point, you
must press the START/PAUSE button 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 (for example, 1 minute if the cycle is in the
spin phase). Press the START/PAUSE button to resume the
cycle.
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 spin phase as the lid lock goes through
a self-test. There will be different kinds of humming and
whirring sounds as the washplate tests for load balance or
moves the load. And sometimes, you may hear nothing at
all as the washer determines the correct water level for your
load or allows time for clothes to soak.
IMPORTANT: The lid must be closed before the washer basket lls with water and for the wash cycle to start. If the lid is open and
lling stops, close the lid and press the START/PAUSE button to complete the cycle.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be
marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Using non-HE detergent
will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component malfunction
and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents
should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce
the right amount of suds for the best performance. They
should hold soil in suspension so it is not redeposited
onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as High
Efciency are identical in formulation and their ability to
reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade
HE detergents may generate a high level of suds. Always
follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
