What’s New Under the Lid?
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 agitator tests for load balance or moves
the load. Sometimes, you may hear nothing at all
as the washer allows time for clothes to soak.
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 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.
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. Press Start/Pause 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 the Deep Water
Wash setting and the washer will ll to the maximum
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 signal that sensing technology is determining if there
is an off-balance load.
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.
■Rinse options must be set to either 1 Rinse with softener or 2 Rinses with 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.
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, build-up
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.
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.
