What’s New Under the Lid?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
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 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.
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. And, sometimes,
you may hear nothing at all as the washer allows time for
clothes to soak.
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, 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
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.
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 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.

SOIL LEVEL
Select the setting most suitable for your load. For heavily
soiled and sturdy fabrics, select Heavy Soil Level for more
wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, select Light
Soil Level for less wash time. A lighter soil-level setting will
help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
2
WASH TEMP
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.
All rinses are cold.

The Progress Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each
stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that
are different from your previous washer.
SENSING
When the START/Pause button is pressed and the Water
Level knob is set to Auto Sensing, the washer will ll and
begin sensing to determine load size and balance. Once
sensing is complete, the washer will ll to the appropriate
level for the detected load size and then begin the wash
phase of the cycle.
NOTE: Sensing and wash phases will be paused by
opening the unlocked lid. Close the lid to resume the
cycle. If the lid is left open for more than 10 minutes, the
washer will cancel the cycle and pump out the water.
The lid will lock after the wash phase to begin the initial
spinout and remain locked for the remainder of the cycle.
WASH
The washer will ll to the correct water level based
on the load size and the Water Level selection.
Certain cycles may agitate during the ll process
to boost cleaning. You will hear the agitator rotate
followed by a pause lasting several seconds. When
the wash cycle begins, you will hear the agitator
increase speed. The motor sounds may change at
different stages in the wash cycle while the washer
performs different wash actions.
RINSE
Certain cycles use a spray rinse, which adds water to
the tub while the basket spins. When a fabric softener
option is selected, 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.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for
proper water removal based on the selected cycle
and spin speed.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
For best results, remove the load promptly.
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. The lid
will unlock once the washer movement
has stopped. This may take several
minutes if the load was spinning at
high speed. Press START/Pause while
the lid is closed to resume the cycle.

Using Your Washer
1. Sort and prepare your laundry
■ Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small
object can pass under the agitator and become trapped,
causing unexpected sounds.
■ Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
■ Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
■ Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
■ Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing
because heat can set stains into fabric.
■ Treat stains promptly.
■ Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
■ Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
■ When washing water-proof or water-resistant items,
load evenly.
■ Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when
washing delicate or small items.
■ Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers
from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will
pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric-care-label instructions
to avoid damage to your garments.
2. Add laundry products
Add a measured amount of HE
detergent or single-dose laundry
packet into the basket.
If using Oxi-type boosters, color-safe
bleach, or fabric-softener crystals, add
to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efciency detergents. The
package will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” 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.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine
the amount of laundry products to use.

3. Load laundry into washer
5. Add fabric softener to dispenser
Load garments in loose heaps evenly
around basket wall. For best results, do
not pack the load tightly. Do not wrap
large items such as sheets around the
agitator; load them in loose piles around
the sides of the basket. Try mixing
different-sized items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or
force items into washer. Items need to move freely for best
cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
4. Add liquid chlorine bleach
to dispenser
Do not overll, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250 mL).
Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same
cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
Liquid
Chlorine Bleach
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric
softener into dispenser; always follow

Installation Instructions for more information.
WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and
Performing at its Best
1. Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions
regarding the amount of detergent to use. Never use more
than the recommended amount because that may increase
the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate
inside your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable
odor.
2. Use warm- and hot wash-water settings sometimes (not
exclusively cold-water washes) because they do a better
job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent
accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry
out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing
residue.
Cleaning Your Top-Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
routine cleaning processes recommended below. This washer
maintenance procedure should be performed, at a minimum,
once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs
sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may
otherwise accumulate in your washer.
