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 Lock 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 and you press the

Start/Pause button. 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 (for example, 1 minute if the cycle is in the

spin phase). Press the START/PAUSE button to resume the

cycle.

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 washplate 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.

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 the START/PAUSE button to complete the cycle.

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.

Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
