WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate dierently than your previous 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 o, 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. 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 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.
Press START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid to resume the cycle.
Water Level Options
Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and the
washer will ll to a level that ensures the load engages the
agitator. From this point, the electronic control will sense the load
and determine if additional water is needed. Set the Water Level
knob to Deep Fill setting and the washer will ll to the maximum
water level.
NOTE: Deep Fill is not available in the Normal cycle mode.
Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep Fill setting will result
in auto sensing of the water level.
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
signals that sensing technology is determining if there is an
o-balance load.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At dierent stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and
noises that are dierent 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 dierent kinds of humming sounds as the 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 Eciency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Eciency.” 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
Eciency 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 Efficiency (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 open and lling stops,
close the lid and press START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid to complete the cycle.
■ Rinse options must be set to either One Rinse with Fabric Softener or Two Rinses with Fabric Softener 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.
