What's New Under The Lid - Maytag MVWC300BW1 Use And Care Manual

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
LidLock
<Jill
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 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 to resume the cycle.
O Sensing
This washer will perform a series of spins to check
for load balance. During this time, a series of dicks
and a whirring noise signal that sensing technology
is determining if there is an off-balance load.
Sounds
At different 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.
Spray Rinse
Select cycles default to a spray rinse. During these cycles,
you will hear water enter the washer as the tub spins,
allowing the rinse water to penetrate clothes. Check the
"Cycle Guide" for details.
INI PORTANT:
[] 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.
[] Fabric Softener option must be selected to ensure fabric softener dispenses at the correct time.
