WARNING

Washer Safety

What’s Under the Lid

Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.

IMPORTANT:

 The lid must be closed before the washer basket lls with water and for the wash cycle to start. If the lid is opened, the cycle

pauses and all lling/agitation motion halts. Once the lid is closed, the cycle automatically resumes. However, if the Start/Pause/

Unlock Lid/Cancel button is pressed prior to opening the lid, the lid must be closed and the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid/Cancel button

pressed again to resume the cycle.

 Rinse option must be set to Auto w/Ex Rinse, Deep Water Rinse, or Deep Water w/Ex Rinse 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.

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 without pausing the cycle. When this

light is blinking, the washer is paused. When this light is off,

the lid can be opened. After the cycle has started, the washer

will ll to the appropriate water level. On select cycles, agitation

will occur while the basket is lling with water. This is normal.

When the washer is done lling, it will begin the wash phase.

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/

UNLOCK LID/CANCEL 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

from several seconds to several minutes for the lid to unlock.

Press START/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID/CANCEL to resume

the cycle.

Sensing

This washer automatically senses the load size for most cycles,

and chooses an appropriate water level according to the load

size detected. This washer also performs 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.

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 automatically adds more water to any cycle at any

time during the wash process.

Normal Sounds You Can Expect

At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds

and noises 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 sounds as the HE agitator

tests for load balance or 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.

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.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be

marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” 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 Efciency 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.

Control Panel and Features

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, use the warmest

wash water safe for your fabric, as specied by the garment

label instructions.

 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.

WATER LEVEL

Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and

the washer will automatically sense the appropriate water

level for the load size and type.

Set the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash setting

and the washer will automatically add more water to any

cycle at any time during the wash process.

NOTE: Expect longer cycle times due to extended ll times

when using the Deep Water Wash option.

RINSE OPTION

Select the option most suitable for your load. Select Auto

w/Ex Rinse, Deep Water Rinse, or Deep Water w/Ex Rinse

if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that fabric

softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for even

distribution.

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/

CANCEL BUTTON

Press to start the selected cycle. Press again to pause the

cycle and unlock the lid. Close the lid and press to restart

the cycle. Press and hold to cancel a cycle and pump out

the washer.

NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes

to unlock the lid.

Not all features and options are available on all models.

Appearance may vary.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS

The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle.

At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or

pauses that are different from traditional washers.

SENSING/FILL

When the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid/Cancel 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. A short but

noticeable pause in the cycle action occurs during

sensing. This is normal.

Once sensing is complete, the washer will ll to the

appropriate level for the detected load size and, on

select cycles, agitation will occur during lling. This,

too, is normal. When the washer is done lling, it will

begin the wash phase of the cycle. To ensure that

the most accurate load size is detected, avoid opening

the lid during the “Sensing” phase.

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.

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. When the wash cycle begins, you will hear

the HE agitator increase speed. The motor sounds may

change at different stages in the wash cycle while the

washer performs different wash actions.

NOTE: The lid will automatically lock after the wash

phase completes and before the initial spinout occurs,

and will remain locked for the rest of the cycle.

RINSE

Certain cycles use a spray rinse, which adds water to

the tub while the basket spins. You may hear the motor

turning on briey (short hum) to move the basket

while lling. In some cases, you may also hear sounds

similar to the wash cycle as the washer lls, rinses,

and moves the load.

FINAL SPIN

The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for

proper water removal based on the selected cycle

and spin speed.

CYCLE COMPLETE

Once the cycle is complete, the lid will unlock and this

light will come on. For best results, remove the load

promptly.

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/CANCEL. 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/

UNLOCK LID/CANCEL while the

lid is closed to resume the cycle.

*†Efcient use of resources, such as energy and water.

 Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small

object can pass under the HE 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 items.

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

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 Efciency detergents. The

package will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” 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.

NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine

the amount of laundry products to use.

2. Add laundry products

Washer Maintenance

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean

and Performing at its Best

1. Always use High Efciency (HE) detergents and 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.

Cleaning the Inside of the Washer

To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions

provided above and use this recommended monthly cleaning

procedure:

Clean Washer Cycle

Troubleshooting

If you experience Possible Causes Solution

Vibration or Off-Balance

Check the following for

proper installation or

see “Using Your Washer”

section

Feet may not be in contact

with the oor. Front and rear feet must be in rm contact with oor, and

washer must be level to operate properly.

Washer may not be level. 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 could be unbalanced. Load dry items in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.

Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket

could unbalance washer.

Wash smaller loads to reduce imbalance.

Do not tightly pack. Avoid washing single items.

Use Bulky/Sheets cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items

such as jackets and small comforters. See “Cycle Guide.”

See “Cycle Guide” and “Using Your Washer” in this Use and

Care Guide.

Noises

Clicking or metallic

noises Objects caught in washer drain

system. 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 snaps,

buckles, or zippers touch against the basket.

Gurgling or humming Washer may be draining 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 Drain/Spin cycles.

Humming Load sensing may be occurring. You may hear the hum of the sensing spins after you have

started the washer. This is normal.

Whirring Basket deceleration may be

occurring. You may hear the whirring sound of the basket decelerating.

This is normal.

Troubleshooting

If you experience Possible Causes Solution

Water Leaks

Check the following

for proper installation: Washer not level. Water may splash off basket if washer is not level. Check that

load is not unbalanced or tightly packed.

Fill hoses not attached tightly. Tighten ll hose connection.

Fill hose washers. Make sure all four ll hose at washers are properly seated.

Drain hose connection. Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it

to drain pipe or laundry tub.

Do not place tape over drain opening.

Check household plumbing for leaks

or clogged sink or drain. Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drain pipe. Check

all household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water

pipes, and faucets).

Washer not loaded as recommended. Improper loading can cause basket to be out of alignment

and cause water to splash off tub. See “Using Your Washer”

for loading instructions.

Washer not performing as expected

Not enough water

in washer Load not completely covered

in water. This is normal operation for a high efciency washer. If the Water

Level knob is set to Auto Sensing, the load will not be completely

under water. The washer senses load sizes and adds correct

amount of water for optimal cleaning. Use Bulky/Sheets cycle

for higher water ll, or set Water Level knob to Deep Water Wash

setting. See “What’s Under the Lid” and “Cycle Guide” to match

your load with the best cycle.

IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. Adding water

results in less effective cleaning.

Run Clean Washer with affresh® cycle to optimize the water level

and wash performance due to soil buildup in washer basket.

Washer won’t run

or ll, washer stops

working, or wash light

remains on (indicating

that the washer was

unable to ll

appropriately)

Check for proper water supply. Both hoses must be attached and have water owing to

inlet valve.

Both hot and cold water faucets must be turned on.

Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged.

Check inlet hoses for any kinks, which can restrict water ow.

Washer not performing as expected (cont.)

Washer won’t run

or ll, washer stops

working, or wash light

remains on (indicating

that the washer was

unable to ll

appropriately) (cont.)

Normal washer operation. Lid must be closed for washer to run.

Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle. Do not

interrupt cycle.

Washer may be tightly packed. Remove several items, rearrange load evenly in basket, and

add detergent. Close lid and press START/PAUSE/UNLOCK

LID/CANCEL.

Do not add more than one or two additional items after cycle

has started to avoid tightly packing or unbalancing.

Washer not draining/

spinning, loads are still

wet, or nal spin light

remains on (indicating

that the washer was

unable to pump out

water within 10 minutes)

Small items may have been caught

in pump or between basket and tub,

which can slow draining.

Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items.

Using a cycle with a low spin speed. Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles

with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/spin speed

for your garment. To remove extra water in the load, select

Drain/Spin. Load may need to be rearranged to allow even

distribution of the load in the basket.

The washer may be tightly packed

or unbalanced. Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer

to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly

arrange the wet load for balanced spinning. Select the Drain/

Spin cycle to remove excess water. See “Using Your Washer”

for loading recommendations.

Check plumbing for correct drain

hose installation. Drain hose

extends into standpipe further

than 4.5" (114 mm).

Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form

and securely attach to drain pipe or tub. Do not tape over drain

opening. Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m)

above the oor. Remove any clogs from drain hose.

Too much detergent causing suds

to slow or stop draining and spinning. Always measure and follow detergent directions for your load.

To remove extra suds, select Rinse/Spin. Do not add detergent.

Dry spots on load

after cycle High speed spins extract more

moisture than traditional top-load

washers.

The high spin speeds combined with air ow during the nal

spin can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry

spots during the nal spin. This is normal.

Washer may be tightly packed. Use Bulky/Sheets cycle for higher water ll, or set Water Level

knob to Deep Water Wash setting. See “Cycle Guide” to match

your load with the best cycle.

Added extra garments to the load

after the sensing/ll phase. Add only one or two additional garments after washer

has started.

Incorrect or wrong

wash or rinse

temperatures

Check for proper water supply. Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.

Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet

and have both hot and cold water owing to inlet valve.

Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.

Remove any kinks in hoses.

Energy saving controlled

wash temperatures.

This washer uses cooler wash and rinse water temperatures than

your previous washer. This includes cooler hot and warm washes.

Load not rinsed Check for proper water supply. Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.

Both hoses must be attached and have water owing to the

inlet valve.

Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.

Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged.

Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.

Not using HE detergent or using too

much HE detergent. The suds from too much detergent can keep washer from

operating correctly. Always measure detergent and follow

detergent directions based on load size and soil level.

Washer not loaded as recommended. The washer is less efcient at rinsing when load is tightly packed.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.

Sécurité de la laveuse

Ce qui est sous le couvercle

Utiliser uniquement un détergent haute efcacité (HE).

IMPORTANT :

 Le couvercle doit être fermé avant que le panier de la laveuse se remplisse et que le programme de lavage se mette en marche.

Si le couvercle est ouvert, le programme s’arrête et tous les mouvements de remplissage/agitation s’arrêtent. Une fois le couvercle

fermé, le programme reprend automatiquement. Toutefois, si le bouton Start/Pause/Cancel (mise en marche/pause/annulation)

est pressé avant d’ouvrir le couvercle, il faut fermer le couvercle et appuyer de nouveau sur le bouton Start/Pause/Cancel (mise en

marche/pause/annulation) pour reprendre le programme.

 Option de rinçage doit être réglée sur Auto w/Ex Rinse (auto avec rinçage supplémentaire), Deep Water Rinse

(rinçage à l’eau profonde) ou Deep Water w/Ex Rinse (rinçage à l’eau profonde avec rinçage supplémentaire) lors de l’utilisation

d’assouplissant pour tissu dans le distributeur d’assouplissant pour tissu. Cela garantit que l’assouplissant pour tissu est ajouté au

bon moment dans la phase de rinçage et est uniformément répartie.

Verrouillage du couvercle

Pour permettre des essorages à vitesse plus élevée, le

couvercle se verrouille et le témoin de Lid Locked (couvercle

verrouillé) s’allume. Lorsque ce témoin lumineux s’allume, cela

signie que le couvercle est verrouillé et ne peut être ouvert

sans suspendre le programme. Lorsque ce témoin lumineux

clignote, cela signie que la laveuse effectue une pause.

Lorsque ce témoin lumineux est éteint, cela signie qu’on peut

ouvrir le couvercle. Une fois qu’un programme a commencé,

la laveuse se remplit au niveau d’eau approprié. Sur certains

programmes, l’agitation se produit pendant que le panier se

remplit d’eau. Ceci est normal. Quand la laveuse est faite

remplir, l’étape de lavage va commencer. Si l’on doit ouvrir

le couvercle pour ajouter un vêtement après cette étape, le

couvercle de la demeurera déverrouillé pendant toute la partie

de l’agitation de l’étape de lavage. Le programme fait une

pause automatiquement quand le couvercle est ouvert, et le

programme recommencera après la fermeture du couvercle.

Le couvercle se verrouille avant le début de l’étape d’essorage.

Si l’on doit pauser ou arrêter après cette étape, il faut appuyer

sur START/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID/CANCEL (mise en marche/

pause/déverrouillage du couvercle/annulation) puis attendre

que le couvercle se déverrouille. Le couvercle se déverrouille

uniquement une fois que le mouvement de la laveuse a cessé.

Selon le moment où l’on souhaite suspendre le programme, le

couvercle peut mettre entre quelques secondes et plusieurs

minutes à se déverrouiller. Appuyer sur START/PAUSE/

UNLOCK LID/CANCEL (mise en marche/pause/déverrouillage

du couvercle/annulation) pour poursuivre le programme.

Détection

Cette laveuse détecte automatiquement la taille de la charge

pour la plupart des programmes, et sélectionne un niveau

d’eau approprié en fonction de la taille de la charge détectée.

Cette laveuse effectue également une série d’essorages pour

contrôler l’équilibre de la charge. Durant cette période, une série

de cliquetis et un bruit de frottements rythmiques indiquent

que la technologie de détection détermine si la charge est

déséquilibrée.

Options de niveau d’eau

Régler le bouton Water Level (niveau d’eau) sur le réglage

Auto Sensing (détection automatique) et la laveuse ajuste

automatiquement le niveau d’eau en fonction de la taille de

la charge. Régler le bouton Water Level (niveau d’eau) sur

le réglage Deep Water Wash (lavage à l’eau profonde) et la

laveuse ajoute automatiquement plus d’eau à n’importe quel

programme à tout moment pendant le processus de lavage.

Sons normaux prévisibles

Au cours des différents stades du programme de lavage, vous

entendrez peut-être des bruits que votre laveuse précédente

ne produisait pas. Par exemple, vous entendrez peut-être un

cliquetis au début de l’étape d’essorage lorsque le système

de verrouillage du couvercle effectue un test automatique.

Différents bourdonnements et bruits de frottements rythmiques

se produiront à mesure que l’agitateur HE évalue l’équilibre

de la charge et qu’il la déplace. Parfois, il est possible que la

laveuse soit complètement silencieuse, lorsqu’elle détermine le

niveau d’eau adéquat ou qu’elle laisse tremper les vêtements.

Rinçage par vaporisation

Certains programmes utilisent l’option rinçage par

vaporisation par défaut. Au cours de ces programmes,

on entend l’eau pénétrer dans la laveuse tandis que la cuve

tourne, ce qui permet à l’eau de rinçage de pénétrer les

vêtements. Consulter le “Guide des programmes” pour

plus de détails.

Choix du détergent approprié

Utiliser uniquement des détergents haute efcacité. L’emballage

portera la mention “HE” ou “High Efciency” (haute efcacité).

Il est probable que l’utilisation d’un détergent non HE

prolongera la durée des programmes et réduira la performance

de rinçage. Ceci peut aussi entraîner des malfunctions de

composants et, avec le temps, une accumulation de moisissure.

Les détergents HE devraient produire peu de mousse et se

dissoudre rapidement pour produire une quantité de mousse

idéale pour une performance optimale. Ils devraient retenir

les particules de saleté en suspension an qu’elles ne se

redéposent pas sur les vêtements propres. Les détergents

identiés HE ne comportent pas tous une formule identique

et ne produisent pas tous la même quantité de mousse. Par

exemple, les détergents HE naturels, organiques et faits maison

peuvent produire une plus grande quantité de mousse. Toujours

suivre les instructions du fabricant pour déterminer la quantité

de détergent à utiliser.
