WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LiD?
Your new washer will operate diff:erently than your past agitator-style washer.
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, water will enter washer
and then lock. If you need to open the lid to add a garment
after this point, you must press START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid
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. Press START/PAUSE/
Unlock Lid to resume the cycle.

Sensing
This washer will perform a series of spins to check for load
balance. During this time, a series of clicks and a whirring
noise signal that sensing technology is determining if there
is an off-balance load.
Sounds
At diff:erent 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.
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 button.
* A Fabric Softener option must be selected to ensure fabric softener dispenses at the correct time.
