WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
Lid Locked
Sounds
When
the Lid Locked light is on, the lid is locked and
cannot be opened. When the light is off, the lid is unlocked
and can be opened. If you need to open the lid to add a
garment, you must press START/STOP/PAUSE/UNLOCK
LID and wait for the lid to unlock. The lid will only unlock
and the Lid Locked light will only turn off 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.
t different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear
A
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.
IMPORTANT:
• Washer will not operate if the lid is open.
• Washer will not begin to fill with water until the lid is closed.
• The washer cycle will cancel and water will automatically drain if the lid is left open for more than 10 minutes.

Soil Level settings adjust the agitation time as needed for
your load. The Light setting is for lightly soiled garments and
the Heavy setting is for garments that need longer wash time
to release the soils from the fabric.
Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform water
temperatures by regulating incoming warm and cool water.
This ensures the correct temperature is used to maximize
cleaning while protecting the garments.
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.
OTES:

the temperature of the water entering your washer.
• Warm and cool water will be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
•
Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm water
may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.

Cycle Details:
Use this cycle to soak small spots of set-in stains on fabrics.
The washer will use intermittent agitation and soaking. After
time has expired, water will drain, but the washer will not
spin. Cycle is complete.
Use this cycle to wash small, lightly soiled loads of 2–3
items that are needed in a hurry. This cycle features
a spray rinse.
USING YOUR WASHER
1.
Sort and prepare your laundry
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the 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 garments 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.
2.
Add laundry products
Add a measured of amount of detergent (powder or liquid)
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.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine
the amount of laundry products to use.
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 garments.
7
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
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.

once the washer movement has stopped. This may take
several minutes if the load was spinning at high speed. Then
close lid and press START/STOP/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID again
to restart the cycle.

WASHER MAINTENANCE
WATER INLET HOSES
WASHER CARE (cont.)
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses
if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
on the label with a permanent marker.
2. Chlorine Bleach Procedure (Alternative):
a.Open the washer lid and remove any clothing
or items.
b.Add 236 mL (1 cup) of liquid chlorine bleach
to the bleach compartment.
NOTE: Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is
recommended above could cause washer damage
over time.
c. Close the washer lid.
d.Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the
washer when following this procedure.
e.Select the cycle recommended for cleaning the inside
of the washer.
f.Press the Start/Stop/Pause/Unlock Lid button
to start the cycle.
NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle
must be interrupted, press START/STOP/PAUSE/UNLOCK
LID once. After the cycle has stopped, run a Rinse & Spin
cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.
WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at Its Best
1.Always 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:
Recommended Cycle for Cleaning the Washer
Refer to the “Cycle Guide” for the optimal cycle for cleaning
the inside of the washer. Use this cycle with Washer Cleaner
or liquid chlorine bleach as described below.
Begin procedure
1.Washer Cleaner Cycle Procedure (Recommended for Best
Performance):
a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.
b. Place a Washer Cleaner tablet in the bottom of the
washer basket.
c. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the
washer when following this procedure.
d. Close the washer lid.
e. Select the cycle recommended for cleaning the inside
of the washer.
f. Press START/STOP/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID to start
the cycle.
NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle
must be interrupted, press START/STOP/PAUSE/UNLOCK
LID once. After the cycle has stopped, run a Rinse & Spin
cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.
10
Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may find some
residue buildup in the washer’s dispensers. To remove
residue from the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth
and towel dry. 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 a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills.
Use only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external
washer surfaces.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not
use abrasive products.
NON-USE AND VACATION CARE
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.
2. Turn off water supply to washer, to avoid flooding due
to water pressure surge.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage to washer and personal injury, any
transport/installation of washer requires two-person handling.
WINTER STORAGE CARE
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, install and store washer
where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in
hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving
during freezing weather, winterize your washer.
To winterize washer:
1. Shut off both water faucets; disconnect and drain water
inlet hoses.
2. Put 1 L (1 qt.) of R.V.-type antifreeze in basket and run
washer on Rinse & Spin cycle for about 30 seconds
to mix antifreeze and remaining water.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
REINSTALLING/USING WASHER AGAIN
TRANSPORTING YOUR WASHER
1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water
inlet hoses.
2. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, follow
“Winter Storage Care” directions before moving.
3. Disconnect drain hose from drain system and drain
any remaining water into a pan or bucket. Disconnect
drain hose from back of washer.
To reinstall washer after non-use, vacation, winter storage,
or moving:
1. Refer to Installation Instructions to locate, level, and
connect washer.
2. Before using again, run washer through the following
recommended procedure:
To use washer again:
4. Unplug power cord.
1. Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
Turn on both water faucets.
5. Place inlet hoses and drain hose inside washer basket.
2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
6. Drape power cord over edge and into washer basket.
3. Run washer through Bulky/Sheets cycle at a hot
temperature to clean washer and remove antifreeze,
if used. Use half the manufacturer’s recommended
amount of detergent for a medium-size load.
7. Place packing tray from original shipping materials back
inside washer. If you do not have packing tray, place heavy
blankets or towels into basket opening. Close lid and place
tape over lid and down front of washer. Keep lid taped until
washer is placed in new location.
IMPORTANT: Washer must be transported in the upright
position and secured with shipping straps to avoid tipping.

Check floor for flexing or sagging. If flooring is uneven,
a 19 mm (3/4") 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 Jeans cycle and Heavy or Extra Heavy Soil Level for
oversized, non-absorbent items such as comforters or
poly-filled jackets. See “Cycle 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 cycle.
Humming
Load sensing may be occurring.
You may hear the hum of the sensing spins after you have
started the washer. This is normal.
Washer not level.
Water may splash off basket if washer is not level.
Check that load is not unbalanced or tightly packed.
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 drainpipe or laundry tub.
Water Leaks
Check the following for
proper installation:
Do not place tape over drain opening.
Check household plumbing for leaks
or clogged sink or drain.
Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe.
Check all household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs,
drain pipe, water pipes, and faucets.)
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Improper 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
Washer won’t run or fill,
washer stops working,
or wash light remains
on (indicating that the
washer was unable to
fill appropriately)

TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
If you experience
Possible Causes
Solution
Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Washer won’t run or fill,
washer stops working,
or wash light remains
on (indicating that the
washer was unable to
fill appropriately) (cont.)
Check proper electrical supply.
Plug power cord into an earthed 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 spins the dry load for several minutes before filling
to determine if load is balanced. You may hear the hum of
the spins. This is normal.
Washer may be tightly packed.
Remove several items, rearrange load evenly in basket,
and add detergent. Close lid and press START/STOP/
PAUSE/UNLOCK LID.
Do not add more than 1 or 2 additional items after cycle
has started to avoid tightly packing or unbalancing.

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/speed spin 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.
Check plumbing for correct drain hose
installation. Drain hose extends into
standpipe farther than 114 mm (4.5").

If you experience
Possible Causes
Solution
Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Dry spots on load
after cycle
High-speed spins extract more moisture
than traditional top-load washers.
The high spin speeds combined with airflow during
the final spin can cause items near the top of the load
to develop dry spots during the final spin. This is normal.
Incorrect or wrong wash
or rinse temperatures
Check for proper water supply.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet,
and have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
