WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaning with Less Water
Impeller
Traditional agitator-style
washer
The most striking difference in your new washer is the
low-water impeller wash system. The washer automatically
adjusts the water level to the load size—no water level selector
is needed.
When loading the washer with dirty laundry, ll it evenly
around the basket wall. 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.
Washer with low-water
impeller wash system
The impeller moves the load through the water while using
less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style
washer.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be
marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Low-water washing creates
excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using
regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and
reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made
to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use.
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
Water is added to the load while the basket turns slowly. As the
washer dampens and moves the load, the level of clothes will
settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not indicate that
more clothes should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water
like with your past agitator-style washer.
H2Low™ Concentrated Cleaning
The H2Low™ cleaning system means low-water concentrated
cleaning. Rather than diluting detergent as done in an
agitator-style washer, this washer delivers the detergent
directly to the soils.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds that
are different from those of your previous washer. For example,
you may hear a clicking at the beginning of the cycle, as the
lid lock goes through a self-test. There will be different kinds of
humming and whirring sounds as the impeller 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.

TIME/STATUS DISPLAY
The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time
required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size
and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display.
Overloading, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may
cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
The Delay Start indicator will light if you have set a delay
start to the cycle.
The Add a Garment indicator will let you know when it is still
possible to add items to the load.
The Clean Washer Reminder indicator lights after 45 wash
cycles without a clean washer cycle. See the “Cleaning your

OPTIONS AND MODIFIERS
Modiers allow you to further customize your cycles and
save energy.
WASH TEMP/RINSE TEMP
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you
are washing. Use the warmest wash water suitable for
fabrics. Follow garment label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads drier and more comfortable
to handle than cold rinses. However, warm rinses also
increase wrinkling. Cold rinses may help with wrinkling
and save energy.
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F
(15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be
difcult to remove.
SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be
4
changed. Spin speeds may vary by cycle.

SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. See
“Cycle Guide.” As you press the SOIL LEVEL pad, the
cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time
Remaining display and a different wash time will appear.
To get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the
Light indicator light illuminates. This is the shortest
wash time available for that cycle with the wash options
selected.
• For most loads, use the time recommended in the
• For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL
• For light soil and delicate fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL
AUTO TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Auto Temperature Control (ATC) electronically senses and
maintains a uniform wash and rinse water temperature.
ATC regulates incoming hot and cold water. The ATC
is automatically turned on when a cycle is selected.
(See “Cycle Guide.”)
ATC is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold, and Cool/
Cold settings. The water temperature in the Hot/Cold and
Cold/Cold settings depends on the water temperature at
the water inlet faucets.
• ATC ensures consistent cleaning.
•Heated water consumes the largest amount of energy
•Today’s detergents work well at temperatures above
Use Option pads to select or deselect the options for your
wash cycle. Options may add time to the wash cycle.
WATER SAVE SPRAY RINSE
The Water Save Spray Rinse option reduces rinse water
in the cycle. This option is available on most cycles and
must be selected prior to the start of the cycle. Do not
use liquid fabric softener with the Water Save Spray Rinse
option. Select the Fabric Softener option if using liquid
fabric softener to make sure there is proper dispensing.
OXI TREAT STAINS
This washer is designed to dispense laundry boosters
such as oxygenated stain treaters and color-safe
bleach at the correct time in the cycle for best cleaning
performance. Do not use laundry boosters and chlorine
bleach in the same cycle.

If you experience
Vibration or Off-Balance
Vibration, rocking, or
“walking”
Vibration during spinning
or washer stopped with
all dial lights ashing
Noises
Clicking or metallic
noises
Possible Causes
Feet may not be in contact with the
oor and locked.
Washer may not be level.
Load could be unbalanced.
Objects caught in washer drain
system.
Solution
Front and rear feet must be in rm contact with oor, and washer
must be level to operate properly. Jam nuts must be tight
against the bottom of the cabinet.
Check oor for exing or sagging. If ooring is uneven, a 3/4"
(19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.
See “Level the Washer” in “Installation Instructions.”
Load dry items in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.
Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket
could unbalance washer.
Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as a
rug or jeans jacket with a few extra items. If the dial is ashing,
redistribute the load, close the lid, and press START/PAUSE.
Use Bulky cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items such
as comforters or poly-lled jackets. Other items are not
appropriate for Bulky cycle. See “Cycle Guide.”
Item or load not suitable for selected cycle. See “Cycle Guide”
and “Using Your Washer” in this “Use and Care Guide.”
Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins
could fall between basket and tub or may block pump.
It may be necessary to call for service to remove items.
It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps,
buckles, or zippers touch against the stainless steel basket.
Gurgling or humming
Water Leaks
Check the following for
proper installation:
Washer not performing as expected
Not enough water
in washer
Washer may be draining water.
Washer not level.
Fill hoses not attached tightly.
Fill hose washers.
Drain hose connection.
Check household plumbing for leaks
or clogged sink or drain.
Washer not loaded as
recommended.
Load not completely covered
in water.
It is normal to hear the pump making a continuous humming
sound with periodic gurgling or surging as nal amounts of
water are removed during the spin/drain cycles.
Water may splash off basket if washer is not level.
Tighten ll-hose connection.
Make sure all four ll hose at washers are properly seated.
Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to
drainpipe or laundry tub.
Do not place tape over drain opening.
Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check
all household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe,
water pipes, and faucets).
Unbalanced loading can cause basket to be out of alignment
and cause water to splash off tub. See “Using Your Washer”
for loading instructions.
This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load
will not be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes
and adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See
“What’s New under the Lid.”
IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. The added
water lifts the load off the impeller, resulting in less cleaning.
