What's New Under The Lid - Maytag MVWB766FW1 Use & Care Manual

More Water When You Need It
Washplate Washplate
Traditional Low-Water
Wash System
The most striking difference in your new washer is the Dual Wash
Agitator System. In Auto-Sensing Water Level mode, the washer
automatically adjusts the water level to the optimal amount for a
High Efficiency wash of the detected load size. In Deep Fill mode,
the washer will fill to a pre-determined water level that is deeper
than auto sensing based on initial load size sensed, allowing for
greater flexibility in how you wash your clothes.
For best performance, it is recommended to load items in loose
heaps evenly around the agitator.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
items will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not
indicate that more items should be added.

Automatic Load Size Sensing
Once you start the cycle, the lid will lock, and the washer will begin
the sensing process to determine the correct water level for the
load. This may take several minutes before water is added. You will
find a step-by-step description in the "Cycle Status Lights" section.
Initially the basket will start to spin prior to adding water, this is part
of the sensing process and is normal.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
"HE" or "High Efficiency." High Efficiency wash systems create
excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular
detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced
rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and
noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce
the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent
to use and do not go over the Max line on the dispenser. See
"Using Laundry Product Dispensers" for more information.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and
noises 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 moves the
load and as the basket is slowing down to stop. Sometimes, you
may hear nothing at all as the washer determines the correct water
level for your load or allows time for clothes to soak.
