Control Panel and Features
SOIL LEVEL
Select the most suitable setting for your load. For heavily
soiled and sturdy fabrics, select Heavy Soil Level for more
wash time, if needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics,
select Light Soil Level for less wash time, if needed. Lighter
soil level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
WASH TEMPERATURE
Wash Temperature 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 and following
the garment label instructions, use the warmest wash
water safe for your fabric.
■
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.
WASH CYCLE KNOB

5 CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR
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 button is pressed, the washer will
fill to an initial water level and begin sensing to determine
the load size. If the lid is closed when the washer is done
sensing, the lid will lock and the washer will continue
filling to begin operation. The lid will remain locked for the
rest of the cycle unless the cycle is Paused or Cancelled.
If the lid is open when the water stops entering the
washer, the cycle will not begin until the lid has been
closed and the START/Pause button is pressed. If the
cycle has not been started within 10 minutes of the water
filling the washer, the washer will pump out the water.
NOTE: Avoid opening lid during sensing phase. The
sensing process will start over when the washer is
restarted. The Sensing/Fill light may also come on during
the Soak and Wash portions of the cycle. This is normal.
To restart the washer after the lid has been opened press
START.
WASH
You will hear the motor and agitator moving the load.
During the first stage of the sensing/wash cycle, water
will partially fill the washer and then begin to move the
load. It is normal to have the sensing light on during this
stage. You will hear the agitator rotate, followed by a
several second pause. This process will repeat for several
minutes, allowing the entire load to become saturated.
The lower water level combined with HE detergent at this
stage allows for concentrated cleaning. Concentrated
cleaning delivers the detergent directly to the soils. It is
normal for the load to be above the water line during this
stage. At the beginning of the second stage, the washer
will add water to the correct level based on the load size.
You will hear the agitator move quicker during this stage
of the wash cycle. The motor sounds may change at
different stages in the wash cycle.
