Sounds
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds
and pauses 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 humming and whirring
sounds as the agitator tests for load balance or moves
the load. Sometimes, you may hear nothing at all as the
washer allows time for clothes to soak.
Lid Lock
To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the
Lid Locked light will turn on. When lit, the lid is locked and
cannot be opened. When off, the lid can be opened. After
a cycle is started, water will enter the washer. Lid will be
unocked during the Sensing Fill and Wash process. If you
need to open the lid to add a garment after this point, you
must press START/Pause and wait for the lid to unlock.
The lid will only unlock after washer movement has
stopped. It may take several seconds to several minutes
for the lid to unlock. Press START/Pause to resume the
cycle.
IMPORTANT:
■ After the washer basket fills to the selected water level, the lid must be closed before the wash cycle can start.
If filling stops with the lid open, close lid and press START/Pause button.
WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
Automatic Load Size Sensing
Once you start the cycle, the washer will fill to the water
level. When the washer is done filling, it will start to agitate
after it determines the correct level for the load. The
washer will then fill to the appropriate water level based
on the load size.
This low-water wash method uses less water and energy
compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.
