What’s Under the Lid
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
IMPORTANT:
■ The lid must be closed before the washer basket lls with water and for the wash cycle to start. If the lid is opened, the cycle
pauses and all lling/agitation motion halts. Once the lid is closed, the cycle automatically resumes. However, if the Start/Pause/
Unlock Lid/Cancel button is pressed prior to opening the lid, the lid must be closed and the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid/Cancel button
pressed again to resume the cycle.
■ Rinse option must be set to Auto w/Ex Rinse, Deep Water Rinse, or Deep Water w/Ex Rinse when using fabric softener in the
fabric softener dispenser. This ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse phase and is evenly distributed.
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 without pausing the cycle. When this
light is blinking, the washer is paused. When this light is off,
the lid can be opened. After the cycle has started, the washer
will ll to the appropriate water level. On select cycles, agitation
will occur while the basket is lling with water. This is normal.
When the washer is done lling, it will begin the wash phase.
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. 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/
UNLOCK LID/CANCEL 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
from several seconds to several minutes for the lid to unlock.
Press START/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID/CANCEL to resume
the cycle.
Sensing
This washer automatically senses the load size for most cycles,
and chooses an appropriate water level according to the load
size detected. This washer also performs 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.
Water Level Options
Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and the
washer automatically adjusts the water level to the load size.
Set the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash setting and
the washer automatically adds more water to any cycle at any
time during the wash process.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds
and noises 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 sounds as the HE agitator
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.
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.
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.
