How to Level the Appliance

1. Position the appliance in its final location.

Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain hoses. If you have a carpenter’s level 1, you can use it to check that the appliance is level. The slope beneath the appliance should not exceed 1 inch, and all 4 leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor.

2. Adjust the leveling feet.

Turn all 4 leveling feet in one direction to raise the appliance or the other direction to lower it.

3. Check the level again.

Push or rock the top edges of the appliance gently to make sure the appliance does not rock. If the appliance rocks, readjust the leveling feet.

4. Tighten the locknuts 4.

Turn the locknuts counterclockwise and tighten them when the appliance is level.

WARNING: Do not raise the front of the appliance with a wood block or similar object. Doing so can cause serious injury or death.

Using Non-Skid Pads

If you install the appliance on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the non- skid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level.

1. Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.

Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects or moisture. If moisture remains, the non-skid pads may slip.

2. Adjust the level after placing the appliance in the installation area.

3. Place the adhesive side 3 of the non-skid pad on the floor.

It is most effective to install the non-skid pads under the front leveling feet. If it is hard to place the pads under the front leveling feet, place them under the back leveling feet.

4. Recheck the appliance’s levelness.

Push or rock the top edges of the appliance gently to make sure the appliance does not rock. If the appliance rocks, level the appliance again.

Testing the Dryer

Once you have completed the installation of the appliance, use this test to make sure the condition of the exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of the appliance. This test should be performed to alert you to any serious problems in the exhaust system of your home.

Your appliance features Flow Sense(), an innovative sensing system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.

Testing Dryer Heating

Gas Models

Close the dryer door and press the Power button to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/Pause buttons to start the test. When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.

NOTE: If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after approximately two minutes.

Electric Models

Close the dryer door and press the Power button to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/Pause buttons to start the test. The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.

Checking Airflow

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow. The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inch (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load.

Activating the Installation Test

1. Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as it may affect the accuracy of the results.

2. Press the Power button and then press and hold the Reduce Static and Energy Saver buttons.

This button sequence activates the installation test. The code 1Ns will display if the activation is successful.

3. Press the Start/Pause button.

The appliance will start the test, which will last a few minutes. The heat will be turned on and the temperatures in the drum will be measured.

4. Check the display for results.

During the test cycle, monitor the Flow Sense() display on the control panel. If the Flow Sense() indicator has not turned on when the cycle ends, the exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust system is severely restricted, the Flow Sense() indicator will turn on. Other problems may also be shown with error codes. See the chart on the next page for error code details and solutions.
If the Flow Sense() display indicates that the exhaust system is severely restricted, have the system checked immediately, as performance will be poor.

5. End of cycle.

At the end of the test cycle, ENd will display. The test cycle will end and the appliance will shut off automatically after a short delay.

Check the Duct Condition

If the Flow Sense(

) indicator is turned on, check the exhaust system for restrictions and damage.

Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.

NOTE

When the appliance is first installed, this test should be performed to alert you to any existing problems with the exhaust duct in your home. However, since the test performed during normal operation provides more accurate information on the condition of the exhaust duct than the installation test, the number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same.
Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in inaccurate results.
Even if no bars are displayed during the test cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of this manual for complete exhaust system and venting requirements.

Error Codes

Check the error code before you call for service.

Temperature sensor failure.

Turn off the appliance and call for service.

Humidity sensor failure.

Turn off the appliance and call for service.

Electric dryer power cord is not connected correctly, or house power supply is incorrect.

Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase the fuse capacity.

House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

Gas supply or service turned off. (Gas Model only.)

Confirm that house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open.

Restricted or Blocked Airflow

Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows or bends.

Excess or crushed transition duct

Too many elbows or exhaust too long

Check for blockages and lint buildup.

Make sure the ductwork is not crushed or restricted.

OPERATION-WASHER

Using the Washer

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

Operation Overview

1. Sort laundry and load the washer.

Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color and load size as needed. Open the door and load items into the washer.
If using single-use detergent packs, or gel or tablet detergents, place them in the drum before loading the laundry.

2. Add cleaning products.

Add the proper amount of HE (High-Efficiency) detergent to the detergent dispenser.
If desired, add bleach or fabric softener to the appropriate areas of the dispenser drawer.
Do not place liquid or powdered detergent packs, or gel or tablet detergents in the dispenser.

3. Turn on the washer.

Press the Power button to turn on the washer.

4. Select a cycle.

Turn the cycle selector knob or press the cycle buttons repeatedly until the desired cycle is selected.
The preset wash temperature, spin speed, soil level and option settings for the selected cycle are shown.
The Normal cycle must be selected in order to change its default settings.
Pressing the Start/Pause button without selecting a cycle immediately starts the Normal cycle with the default settings.

5. Adjust settings.

Default settings for the selected cycle can be changed, if desired, using the cycle modifier and option buttons.
Not all modifiers and options are available on all cycles. A different chime sounds and the LED does not light up if the selection is not allowed.

6. Begin cycle.

Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The door locks, and the washer agitates briefly without water to measure the weight of the load.
If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within a certain time, the washer shuts off and all settings are lost.

7. End of cycle.

When the cycle is finished, a melody sounds. Immediately remove the clothing from the washer to reduce wrinkling.
Check around the door seal when removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal.

NOTE: The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating the clothing. It is normal to be unable to see water during the wash cycle.

Sorting Laundry

CAUTION

Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water-resistant must be washed in the Waterproof, Bedding, Bulky/Large, or Jumbo Wash cycle only. (Examples include water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.
Remove the stuffing from pillows and cushions before washing the covers. Failure to do so can cause excessive vibration, resulting in damage to the washer, clothes, nearby objects, walls, and floor.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothing into loads made up of similar items.

Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.

Colors

Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes separately from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.

Soil Level

Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.

Fabric Type

Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics with delicates can result in poor wash performance for the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.

Lint Type

Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector - knit sweater; lint producer - terry cloth towels.)

How to Sort Laundry

Fabric Care Labels

Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Loading the Washer

WARNING: Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water- resistant must be washed in the Waterproof, Bedding, Bulky/Large, or Jumbo Wash cycle only. (Examples include water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.

General Tips

Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins, matches, etc.can damage clothing and the washer.
Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.
Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade other fabrics and lead to poor wash performance.
For best performance, load clothes as shown.

- Do not press down on items while stacking them in the drum.

- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.

Combine large and small items in the drum. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half of the total load.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer must close easily.
The washer will not fill or operate with the door open.

Bulky Items

Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if combined with other items.

Small Items

Do not wash a single small item. Add enough similar items to the load to prevent an out-of- balance load.
Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small items can get caught in the impeller at the bottom of the drum, and brassiere hooks can snag on other clothing or the drum.

Adding Cleaning Products

About Detergent Use

This washer is designed for use with only HE (High- Efficiency) detergents.

HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and washer damage.
Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results.
For proper wash performance, always measure detergent using the measuring device provided by the detergent manufacturer. For an average load, use less than half of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil, or smaller loads.
Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount of extra detergent can lead to problems.
Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Using too much detergent can lead to oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the washer. a Maximum fill line b Average load fill line c Liquid detergent d Powdered detergent

Single-Use Detergent Packs / Gel or Tablet Detergents

Do not use more than one single-use detergent pack in the washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse, select the Extra Rinse option.
Place liquid or powdered detergent packs, or gel or tablet detergents in the tub before loading laundry. Do not place these detergents in the dispenser.

Using the Dispenser

To add cleaning products to the automatic dispenser:

1. Open the dispenser drawer.

2. Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding cleaning products.

3. Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer before starting the cycle.

Slamming the drawer closed may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or dispensing into the drum earlier than programmed.
Be careful not to get a hand caught in the drawer while closing.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

CAUTION: Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer. These products can damage the washer’s finish and controls.

Pre-wash Detergent Compartment

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the Pre-wash option. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washer.

When using the Pre-wash option, liquid detergent for the main wash needs to be loaded in the liquid detergent cup accessory in the main wash dispenser (where applicable), to prevent it from being dispensed with the pre-wash detergent.
The amount of detergent added for the Pre- wash option is 1/2 the amount recommended for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle requires one measure of detergent, add 1/2 measure for the Pre-wash option.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used in this compartment.

The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washer.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.
Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids and powders
If the dispenser has a liquid detergent cup and insert:

- Make sure they are in place when using liquid detergent.

- Make sure to remove them when using powdered detergent. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.

If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue and clog the dispenser.

Liquid Bleach Compartment

This compartment holds liquid bleach, which is dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle. The dispenser is activated twice to ensure complete dispensing of the bleach. Any liquid remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach.

WARNING

Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar or rust/scale remover.
Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal gas, resulting in severe injury or death.

NOTE

Do not add powdered bleach to this compartment. The bleach compartment is designed to dispense liquid chlorine bleach only.
Powdered or liquid color-safe bleach will not dispense properly.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding bleach. Never add more than one cup, and do not exceed the maximum fill line or the bleach may be dispensed immediately and damage fabrics. Using too much bleach can also damage fabrics.
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.
Do not use color-safe bleach or oxygen bleach in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.

Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes or cause buildup on fabrics or in the washer.
Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water.
Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the drum.

Check the Lint Filter Before Every Load

Always make sure the lint filter 1 is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying time. To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Push the lint filter firmly back into place. See Regular Cleaning for more information.

Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or missing lint filter will damage the dryer and articles in the dryer.

Loading the Dryer

General Tips

Combine large and small items in the same load.
Close zippers, hooks and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.

NOTE: Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble and dry properly.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best drying results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothes into loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle.

Different fabrics have different care requirements, and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.

Woolen Items

Always follow fabric care labels before drying woolen items in a dryer. After the cycle, the items may still be damp. Do not repeat the cycle. Pull the items to their original shape if needed and lay them flat to finish drying.

Woven and Loopknit Materials

Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink, depending on quality.

Permanent Press and Synthetics

Do not overload your dryer. Take out permanent press items as soon as the dryer stops to reduce wrinkles.

Baby Clothes and Nightgowns

Always check the manufacturer’s instructions.

Rubber and Plastics

Do not dry any items made from or containing rubber or plastics such as:

Aprons, bibs and chair covers
Curtains and tablecloths
Bath mats

Fiberglass

Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Glass particles left in the dryer could be picked up by your clothes the next time you use the dryer and irritate your skin.

Fabric Care Labels

Sort and dry laundry according to care labels, size, and fabric type. Do not overload the dryer. This will save energy and time and give the best drying performance.
