WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate dierently than your past agitator-style washer.
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.
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.
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
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 START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid 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 setting and the washer
automatically adjusts the water level to the load size. Set the
Water Level knob to the Deep Fill 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 o-
balance load.
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.
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.
■ The Fabric Softener option must be set to “Yes” when using fabric softener in the fabric softener dispenser. This ensures that fabric
softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
