Normal Washer Sounds

Drain & Spin

Normal/Casual

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is preset to high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN SPEED modifier.

NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin to avoid fabric stress.

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load cooling process to reduce wrinkling.

NOTE: For the best energy performance, use the Normal/Casual Cycle.

Clean Washer

Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level in combination with liquid chlorine bleach and steam, to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. This cycle should not be interrupted. See “Cleaning Your Washer” in the “Washer Care” section.

IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash drum.

Whitest Whites

This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum temperature.

KidsWear

This cycle is specifically designed to clean and thoroughly rinse children's clothing. The Skincare Rinse II with extra water provides optimal rinse performance to minimize detergent residue. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and extra high spin speeds to shorten drying time.

Bulky/Bedding

Use this cycle to wash large items such as blankets and comforters. This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly saturate your large load. This is followed by medium wash action and extra low spin speeds to maintain load balance.

As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is locked or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses are part of normal washer operation. (See “Troubleshooting.”)

Options

You can customize your wash by adding options to your cycle selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle anytime before the selected option begins. Not all Options are available with all cycles. Current selections will glow green. If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate.

■See the “Laundry Guide” section for an overview of possible options for each Wash Cycle selection.

■You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some options cannot be added to some cycles. For example, STEAM TREAT™ cannot be added to the Express Wash cycle.

■If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be 3 short tones, and the light for that option will not glow when selected.
