WASHER SAFETY

WHAT’S UNDER THE LID

Use only High Efﬁciency (HE) detergent.

IMPORTANT:

■ The lid must be closed before the washer basket ﬁlls with water and for the wash cycle to start. If the lid is opened, the cycle pauses

and all ﬁlling/agitation motion halts. Once the lid is closed, the cycle automatically resumes. However, if the Start/Pause/Cancel button

is pressed prior to opening the lid, the lid must be closed and the Start/Pause/Cancel button pressed again to resume the cycle.

■ Rinse Option must be set to either 1 Rinse with Fabric Softener or 2 Rinses with Fabric 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.

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 ﬁll to the

appropriate water level. On select cycles, agitation will occur while

the basket is ﬁlling with water. This is normal. When the washer is

done ﬁlling, 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/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/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 Efﬁciency detergents. The package will be marked

“HE” or “High Efﬁciency.” 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 Efﬁciency 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

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 ﬁ ll times

when using the Deep Water Wash option.

START/PAUSE/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.

PROGRESS LIGHTS

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/FILL

When the Start/Pause/Cancel button is pressed and the

Water Level knob is set to Auto Sensing, the washer will

ﬁ 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 ﬁ ll to the

appropriate level for the detected load size and, on select

cycles, agitation will occur during ﬁ lling. This, too, is normal.

When the washer is done ﬁ 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.

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.

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 speciﬁ 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.

WASH CYCLE KNOB

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select cycles on your washer.

See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

RINSE OPTION

The following options may be added to most cycles.

See “Cycle Guide” for additional details.

1 RINSE

This option is used to limit a cycle to one rinse.

2 RINSES

This option can be used to automatically add a second

rinse to all wash cycles.

1 RINSE WITH FABRIC SOFTENER

This option must be selected if using fabric softener during

a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct

time in the rinse for even distribution.

2 RINSES WITH FABRIC SOFTENER

This option turns on both the Fabric Softener and the

2 Rinses option.

Not all features and options are available on all models.

Appearance may vary.

4 5

WASH

The washer will ﬁ ll to the correct water level based on the

load size and the Water Level selection. Certain cycles may

agitate during the ﬁ 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 brieﬂ y (short hum) to move the basket while ﬁ lling. In

some cases, you may also hear sounds similar to the wash

cycle as the washer ﬁ lls, rinses, and moves the load.

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, the lid will unlock and this light

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

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/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/CANCEL while the lid is closed to resume

the cycle.

USING YOUR WASHER

• 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 items 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 Efﬁ ciency detergents. The

package will be marked “HE” or “High Efﬁ 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

5. Add fabric softener

Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric

softener into dispenser; always follow

manufacturer’s directions for correct amount

of fabric softener based on your load size.

Dilute liquid fabric softener by ﬁ lling the

dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the underside

of the rim. See max ﬁ ll line arrows.

IMPORTANT: The Rinse Option knob must be set to either

1 Rinse with Fabric Softener or 2 Rinses with Fabric 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.

Adding Liquid Fabric Softener Manually to Wash Load

During the ﬁ nal rinse, wait until the washer has completed ﬁ lling

and press the START/PAUSE/CANCEL button to pause the

washer. Lift the lid and add the measured, recommended amount

of liquid fabric softener. Do not use more than the recommended

amount. Close the lid and press the START/PAUSE/CANCEL

button again to start the washer.

4. Add liquid chlorine bleach

to dispenser

Liquid

Chlorine Bleach

Do not overﬁ ll, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (236 mL). Do not

use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with

liquid chlorine bleach.

Turn cycle knob to choose your wash cycle. For more

information, see “Cycle Guide.”

6. Select cycle

3. Load laundry into washer

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 HE 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.

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer

Clean and Performing at its Best

1. Always use High Efﬁ 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

This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water volumes

in combination with affresh

Clean Washer cycle. Do not attempt to remove the dispensers

or trim for cleaning. The dispensers and trim are not removable.

If your model has a dispenser drawer, however, remove the

drawer and clean it before or after you run the Clean Washer

cycle. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.

Cleaning the Outside of the Washer

Use an affresh

Machine Cleaning Wipe, a soft, damp cloth,

or a sponge to wipe away any spills. Use an affresh

Machine

Cleaning Wipe or only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning

external washer surfaces.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s ﬁ nish,

do not use abrasive products.

Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving, or

not using your washer for a period of time, follow these steps:

1. Unplug or disconnect power to washer.

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 ﬂoor.

Front and rear feet must be in ﬁrm contact with ﬂoor, and

washer must be level to operate properly.

Washer may not be level. Check ﬂoor for ﬂexing or sagging. If ﬂooring 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 Items cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items such as

comforters or poly-ﬁlled jackets.

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 metal 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 ﬁnal 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.

Water Leaks

Check the following

for proper installation:

Washer not level. Water may splash off basket if washer is not level.

Fill hoses not attached tightly. Tighten ﬁll hose connection.

Fill hose washers. Make sure all four ﬁll hose ﬂat washers are properly seated.

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

pipe or laundry tub.

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. Unbalanced 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 efﬁciency washer. If the Water

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

to Deep Water Wash setting. See “What’s Under the Lid” and

“Cycle Guide” to match your load with the best cycle.

Run Clean Washer with affresh

cycle to optimize the water level

and wash performance due to soil buildup in washer basket.

on (indicating that the

washer was unable to ﬁll

appropriately) (cont.)

Check proper electrical supply. Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not use an extension cord.

Ensure there is power to outlet.

Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.

NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.

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. Close lid

and press START/PAUSE/CANCEL.

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

has started to avoid tightly packing or unbalancing.

Do not add more water to the washer.

Washer not draining/

spinning, loads are

still wet, or 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.

Use 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.

TEN YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

WHAT IS COVERED

WHAT IS NOT COVERED

SÉCURITÉ DE LA LAVEUSE

CE QUI EST SOUS LE COUVERCLE

Utiliser uniquement un détergent haute efﬁcacité (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.

■ Rinse Option (option de rinçage) doit être réglée sur 1 Rinse with Fabric Softener (rinçage unique avec assouplissant pour tissu)

ou 2 Rinses with Fabric Softener (double rinçage avec assouplissant pour tissu) 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 signiﬁe que

le couvercle est verrouillé et ne peut être ouvert sans suspendre

le programme. Lorsque ce témoin lumineux clignote, cela signiﬁe

que la laveuse effectue une pause. Lorsque ce témoin lumineux

est éteint, cela signiﬁe 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/

CANCEL (mise en marche/pause/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/CANCEL (mise en marche/pause/

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 efﬁcacité. L’emballage

portera la mention “HE” ou “High Efﬁciency” (haute efﬁcacité). 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

aﬁn qu’elles ne se redéposent pas sur les vêtements propres.

Les détergents identiﬁés 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.
