What’s New Under the Lid?

Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.

Use only High Efciency (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 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 START/STOP/

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/STOP/

PAUSE/UNLOCK LID to resume the cycle.

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 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.

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 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 Efciency detergents. The package will be marked

“HE” or “High Efciency.” 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 Efciency 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.

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/STOP/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID to complete the cycle.
