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. 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 lid locks, unlocks, and locks again. If you need
to open the lid to add a garment after this point, you
must press START/PAUSE/UNLOCK 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.
Sensing
This washer will perform a series of spins to check
for load balance. When a load is started, it may take
2–3 minutes before water begins to enter the basket.
During this time, a series of clicks and a whirring
noise signal that sensing technology is determining
if there is an off-balance load.
IMPORTANT:
• Washer will not operate if the lid is open.
• Washer will not begin to ll with water until the lid is closed, locked, and the sensing process is complete.
This delay in ll could take 2–3 minutes.
• Fabric Softener option must be selected to ensure fabric softener dispenses at the correct time.
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 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. And, sometimes, you
may hear nothing at all as the washer 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.
WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
