About Your New Load-Sensing Washer; How It Works - Whirlpool LOAD-SENSING W10330946A User Instructions

WHAT'S NEW AbOUT YOUR LOAD-SENSING WASHER
Load-Sensing determines the appropriate amount of water for each load based on your cycle and options selected for maximum
energy and water savings.
Although your new load-sensing washer may look the same as other washers, there are a few important steps that are required to
maximize your water and energy savings:
BEFORE STARTING THE WASHER:
Presort all of your laundry.
■
Add all of your garments and laundry products to the
■
washer and washer dispensers. See "Starting Your Washer".
The following describes what to expect when using a washer with load-sensing technology.
After starting your washer, there will be a
short pause before the washer begins to
fill. The washer makes different sounds
and pauses briefly throughout each cycle.
This is normal.
Dry Load
Water may not cover the top of the clothes and water level will
vary with size of load. This is normal for Auto Load-Sensing
washers. For these models, the water fill is optimized by the
system for best wash performance.

How It Works

Next, three nozzles spray to evenly
saturate the load. Then a sensing step
occurs. The filling stops, and the agitator
moves the load for a very brief time.
Load Filling/Sensing
IMPORTANT: To save water and energy, DO NOT OPEN THE LID
after starting the washer.
Do not interrupt the cycle or open the lid after starting
■
the washer. Opening the lid will reduce or eliminate water
savings. If the lid is opened during fill, the washer will add
more water to accommodate any additional load. If the
lid is opened after the washer has completed filling, the
washer will then fill to the highest level.
The washer estimates how much more
water to add; then, filling resumes and
continues to sense until the right amount
of water is reached. Now washing begins.
