WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?

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

Lid Locked

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 lid locks, unlocks, and locks again. If you need to open the lid to add a garment after this point, you must press START/PAUSE/UNLOCK 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.

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 cycle as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There will be different kinds of hum- ming 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.

Sensing

This washer will perform a series of spins to check for load balance. When a load is started, it may take 2–3 minutes before water begins to enter the basket. During this time, a series of clicks and a whirring noise signal that sensing technology is determining if there is an off-balance load.

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:

•Washer will not operate if the lid is open.

•Washer will not begin to fill with water until the lid is closed, locked, and the sensing process is complete.

This delay in fill could take 2–3 minutes.

• Fabric Softener Added option must be selected "Yes" to ensure fabric softener dispenses at the correct time.
