Operating Washer

Timer

Although wash cycles are automatic, the timer may be
reset to lengthen, shorten or repeat a portion of a cycle.
To set or reset the timer, push timer knob in to stop the
washer. Hold timer knob in firmly while slowly turning it
clockwise to the setting desired. Pull timer knob out to
start washer.

"Door Locked" Light

When washer is started the "Door Locked" light will come
on after a short delay. Light will turn off when the cycle is
complete.

"Heater On" Light

This light comes on during the Boosted Hot setting only.
While the washer is heating the "Heater On" light will turn
on. The light will go off when the washer tumbles and will
come back on when the heater is on.

Out of Balance Load

If at the end of the cycle, the load is noticably wet,
washer has limited the spin speed. Limiting the spin
speed will prevent damage to the washer if there is a
severely unbalanced load.
If this condition occurs, redistribute the load manually and
repeat the cycle beginning at the last rinse.
If the condition persists, consider steps discussed in the
Washing Tips section of Washing Guide.
Wash loads can be too small. Wash load should be
large enough so that clothes are evenly distributed around
the drum during spin. If load is too small, add clothes to
wash tub.

End of Cycle Signal

Detergent Compartment

Detergent compartment is located on the right side of the
dispenser drawer.
High Efficiency (HE) powdered or liquid detergents are
recommended for use with front loading washers.
Powdered bleach can also be used in the dispenser along
with the detergent.
Compartments for detergent, fabric softener and bleach
are larger than what is needed per load to help avoid
spills. Do not overfill dispenser with detergent. Filling
dispenser cavity completely with detergent will result in
oversudsing and a decrease in cleanability. Use only
amount of detergent recommended by detergent
manufacturer.
NOTE: If using detergents made for topload washers,
avoid oversudsing by using
recommended amount. Cleaning performance
may be affected when using lesser amounts.
Use care when adding detergent so as not to spill into the
other compartments. Detergent mixed with fabric softener
can make the softner gummy.
NOTE: The normal level of suds should be below center
of the door.
