WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaning with Less Water
Washplate
Traditional agitator-style
washer
The most striking dierence in your new washer is the low-water
washplate wash system. The washer automatically adjusts the
water level to the load size. No water-level selector is needed.
Washer with low-water
washplate wash system
Automatic Load Size Sensing
Once you start the cycle, the lid will lock, and the washer will
begin the sensing process to determine the correct water level for
the load. This may take several minutes. The basket will start to
spin prior to adding water, this is part of the sensing process and
is normal.
This low-water wash method uses less water and energy
compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Eciency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Eciency.” Low-water washing creates excessive
sudsing with a non-HE detergent. 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.
For best performance, evenly load items in loose heaps around
the washplate.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
items will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not
indicate that more items should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water as
with your past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some of the
load to be above the water line.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Improved Cleaning
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than
diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this
washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils. This low water
wash also allows the clothing to move in a more eective way to
remove soils.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At dierent stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and
pauses dierent from those of your previous washer. For example,
you may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning of the cycle
as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There will be dierent
kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the agitator tests for
load balance or moves the load. Sometimes, you may hear
nothing as the washer determines the correct water level for the
load and allows the load to soak.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
1
WASH TEMP
1
Wash Temp senses and maintains uniform water temperatures
by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following the
garment-label instructions, use the warmest wash water safe
for your fabric.
• On some models and cycles, warm and hot water may be
cooler than your previous washer.
• Even in a cold- and cool-water wash, some warm water
may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
2
CYCLE OPTIONS
The following options may be added to most cycles.
See “Cycle Guide” for additional details.
RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be set to “On” if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added
at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
STAINBOOST
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional spin and soak time to
the cycle.

WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select cycles on your washer. See
“Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

START/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID
Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the
cycle and unlock the lid. Press and hold 3 seconds to cancel a
cycle and drain the water from the washer.
NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes
to unlock the lid.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
5
The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each
stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that
are dierent from traditional washers.
SENSING
When the START/Pause/Unlock Lid is pressed, the washer
will rst perform a self-test on the lid lock mechanism. You
will hear a click, the basket will make a slight turn, and
the lid will unlock briey before locking again. Once the
lid has locked the second time, the washer will use short,
slow spins to estimate the load size. These sensing spins
may take 2 to 3 minutes before water is added to the load
and you may hear the hum of these spins. If the sensing
light is on, then washer is working properly. You will hear
the motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly wet
the load. The washer will then move the load briey, pause
to allow water to soak in to the load, and resume adding
water. This process may repeat until the correct amount
of water has been added for the load. You may also hear
water owing through the dispenser, adding detergent to
the load.
NOTE: Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted. The
sensing light may also come on during the Soak and Wash
portions of the cycle. This is normal.
WASH
During the rst stage of the sensing/wash cycle, water will
partially ll the washer and begin to move the load. It is
normal to have the sensing light on during this stage. You
will hear the agitator rotate followed by a several second
pause. This process will repeat for several minutes, allowing
the entire load to become saturated. The lower water
level combined with HE detergent at this stage allows
for concentrated cleaning. It is normal for the load to be
above the water line during this stage. At the beginning of
the second stage, the washer will add water to the correct
level based on the load size. You will hear the agitator
increase speed during this stage of the wash cycle. The
motor sounds may change at dierent stages in the wash
cycle.

5
RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning
on briey (short hum) to move the basket while lling. When
Fabric Softener-On option is selected, additional water is
added to the rinse to improve fabricsoftener distribution.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
COMPLETE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. For best
results, promptly remove the load.
LID LOCKED
The Lock feature allows for higher spin speeds. When lit,
the lid is locked and cannot be opened without pausing the
cycle. When the light is off, the lid can be opened.
To open the lid after it has been locked, press
START/Pause/Unlock LId. The lid will unlock
once the washer movement has stopped. This
may take several minutes if the load was spin-
ning at high speed. Press START/Pause/Unlock
LId while the lid is closed to resume the cycle.
