Cycle Guide

This section describes the available wash cycles and will help

you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads. Each

cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.

Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions to avoid

damage to your items.

Normal

Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and linens. Wash

combines medium-speed agitation and high-speed spin to

shorten drying time.

Delicate

Use this cycle for lingerie and loosely knit items. Wash combines

low-speed agitation for gentle soil removal and high-speed spin

to shorten drying time.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle for sturdy or heavily soiled loads. Wash combines

high-speed agitation and high-speed spin for maximum soil

removal.

Rinse

Use this cycle for additional rinsing of the washer load

or hand-washed items.

Spin

Use this cycle to remove excess water from the washer load

or hand-washed items.

Clean Washer

Use this cycle every 30 washes to keep the inside of your washer

fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level. Use with

washer cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly

clean the inside of your washer. This cycle should not be

interrupted.

IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer

during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty

washtub.

End-of-Cycle Signal

The End-of-Cycle signal may be turned on and off by pressing

and holding the Cycle “-” button for 3 seconds.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be

marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Low-water washing creates

excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE

detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced

rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and,

over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be

low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount

of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil in

suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes. Not all

detergents labeled as High Efciency are identical in formulation

and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic,

or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount

of detergent to use.

USING YOUR WASHER

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

■ Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small

object can pass under the washplate and become

trapped, causing unexpected sounds.

■ Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,

and colorfastness.

■ Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.

■ Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.

■ Do not dry items if stains remain after washing; heat

can set stains into fabric.

■ Treat stains promptly.

■ Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings, and sashes.

Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

■ Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items

during washing.

Helpful Tips:

■ For best performance, use HE liquid detergent when washing

bulky items.

■ When washing waterproof or water-resistant items, load

evenly.

■ Use mesh bags to help avoid tangling when washing

delicate or small items.

■ Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers

from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will

pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions

to avoid damage to your items.

2. Add laundry products

IMPORTANT: If you are using the Compact Dryer Stack Stand

(Part Number 49971), pull the washer forward before lifting

the washer lid. Do not permanently install the washer in the

Compact Dryer Stack Stand – doing so will prevent you from

raising the washer lid.

If you are using liquid laundry detergent, single-dose laundry

packets, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener

crystals, add to the wash basket prior to adding laundry.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.

3. Load laundry into washer

Max

load

level

For best performance, load items

in loose heaps evenly around the

washplate. Try mixing different-

sized items to reduce tangling.

IMPORTANT: Items need to move

freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

NOTE: The maximum volume is about 1.52 cubic ft. (4.4 lb max.

load size per cubic ft.).

Using Laundry Product Dispensers

NOTE: Do not add liquid laundry detergent, single-dose

laundry packets, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or

fabric softener crystals to dispensers. They will not dispense

correctly. Add to the basket prior to adding laundry.

4. Add powdered HE detergent

IMPORTANT: Use only High Efciency detergents. The

package will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Low-water

washing creates excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent.

Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle

times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result

in component failure and, over time, buildup of mold or

mildew. HE detergents should be low-sudsing and quick-

dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best

performance. They should hold soil in suspension so it is not

re-deposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled

as High Efciency are identical in formulation and their ability

to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade

HE detergents may generate a high level of suds. Follow

the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of

detergent to use.

NOTES:

■ Use only powdered HE detergent in the detergent

dispenser. Add liquid HE detergent or single-dose packets

to the basket prior to adding laundry.

■ See “Washer Maintenance” for information on

recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.

5. Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser

Bleach will be dispensed automatically during the wash part of

the cycle. Do not overll, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250

mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same

cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

6. Add liquid fabric softener

Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into

dispenser; always follow manufacturer’s directions for correct

amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Fabric

softener is added during rinse.

IMPORTANT: Do not overll or dilute. Overlling dispenser

will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer.

It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the

dispenser at the end of a cycle.

NOTE: The fabric softener dispenser rotates around the wash

basket and may not be in the same spot each time.

7. Touch POWER to turn on washer

Close the washer lid. Washer will not ll, agitate, or spin

with the lid open. Make sure the dispenser drawer is closed

completely, then touch POWER to turn on the washer.

8. Select wash temperature

Set the water temperature for the type of fabric and soils being

washed. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabric. Follow

garment label instructions.

For Portable Installations

Open the faucets connected to the water supply hoses.

Wash and Rinse water temperatures are set at your faucet.

The Temperature control does not set the temperature.

Adjust the Hot and Cold water faucets to desired wash

temperature. Keep the temperature control set at Tap Cold.

NOTE: The Tap Cold setting allows water from the faucet to

enter the washer, but does not control the incoming water

temperature.

For a rinse temperature that is different from the wash

temperature, you must adjust the water temperature at

the faucet after the washer has completed its initial ll.

To test the water temperature, press the red water-ow button

on the hose connector. Water will be released when the button

is pressed, allowing you to sample the temperature.

For Permanent Installations

The Rinse and Spin cycles default to a cold rinse, all other

cycles default to a warm rinse. Press the Temp button

to choose a different wash temperature.

WASHER MAINTENANCE

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean

and Performing at Its Best

1. Always use High Efciency (HE) detergents and follow the

HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the

amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the

recommended amount because that may increase the

rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside

your washer which, in turn, may result in undesirable odor.

2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not

exclusively cold water washes) because they do a better

job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent

accumulate.

3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help

dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-

causing residue.

Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer

Read these instructions completely before beginning the

routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Clean

Washer cycle should be performed, at a minimum, once per

month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to

control the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise

accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the Inside of the Washer

To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions

provided above and use this recommended monthly cleaning

procedure:

Clean Washer Cycle

This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water

volumes in combination with a Washer Cleaner or liquid

chlorine bleach to clean the inside of the washer.

Begin procedure

1. Washer Cleaner Cycle Procedure (Recommended for

Best Performance):

a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.

b. Place a Washer Cleaner tablet in the bottom of the

washer basket.

Washer care (cont.)

2. Chlorine Bleach Procedure (Alternative):

a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.

b. Add 1 cup (236 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach to the

bleach compartment.

NOTE: Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is

recommended above could cause washer damage

over time.

c. Close the washer lid.

d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical

to the washer when following this procedure.

e. Select the Clean Washer cycle.

f. Press START/PAUSE to begin the cycle. The Clean

Washer Cycle Operation is described below.

NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle

must be interrupted, press POWER. (For models with no

Power button, press and hold START/PAUSE for 3

seconds). After the Clean Washer cycle has stopped, run

a Rinse cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.

Description of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:

1. This cycle will ll to a water level higher than in normal

wash cycles to provide rinsing at a level above the water

line for normal wash cycle.

2. During this cycle, there will be some agitation and

spinning to increase the removal of soils.

After this cycle is complete, leave the lid open to allow

for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.

Cleaning the Dispensers

After a period of using your washer, you may nd some

residue buildup in the washer’s dispensers. To remove

residue from the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth

and towel dry. Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or

trim for cleaning. The dispensers and trim are not removable.

If your model has a dispenser drawer, however, remove the

drawer and clean it before or after you run the Clean Washer

cycle. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.

Cleaning the Outside of the Washer

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills.

Use only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external

washer surfaces.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s nish, do not

use abrasive products.

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of

hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if

bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of

replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

WATER INLET HOSES

Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving,

or not using your washer for a period of time, follow these

steps:

1. Unplug or disconnect power to washer.

2. Turn off water supply to washer to avoid ooding due to

water pressure surges.

3. Clean the dispensers. See “Cleaning the Dispensers.”

Winter storage care

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, install and store washer

where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in

hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving

during freezing weather, winterize your washer.

To winterize washer:

1. Shut off both water faucets; disconnect and drain water

inlet hoses.

2. Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in washer drum and

run washer on Normal cycle for about 2 minutes to mix

antifreeze and remaining water.

3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

Non-use and vacation care

Transporting your washer

1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water

inlet hoses.

2. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, follow

WINTER STORAGE CARE directions before moving.

3. Disconnect drain hose from drain system and from back

of washer.

4. Unplug power cord.

5. Place inlet hoses and drain hose inside washer drum.

6. Bundle power cord with a rubber band or cable tie to

keep it from hanging onto the ground.

Reinstalling/using washer again

To reinstall washer after non-use, vacation, winter storage,

or moving:

Refer to Installation Instructions to locate, level, and

connect washer.

Before using again, run washer through the following

recommended procedure:

To use washer again:

Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet

hoses. Turn on both water faucets.

Plug in washer or reconnect power.

Run washer through Heavy Duty cycle to clean washer

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience Possible Causes Solution

Vibration or Off-Balance

Vibration, rocking, or

“walking”

Feet may not be in contact with

the oor and locked.

Front and rear feet or wheels must be in rm contact with oor

and washer must be level to operate properly.

Washer may not be level. Check oor for exing or sagging. If ooring is uneven, a ¾"

(19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.

See “Level the Washer” in the Installation Instructions.

Vibration during spinning

or washer stopped

Load could be unbalanced. Load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Adding

wet items to washer or adding more water to basket could

unbalance washer.

Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as a

rug or jeans jacket with a few extra items. Redistribute the load,

close the lid, and press START/PAUSE.

Item or load not suitable for selected cycle. See “Cycle Guide”

and “Using Your Washer.”

Noises

Clicking or metallic

noises

Objects may be caught in washer

drain system.

Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins

could fall between basket and tub or may block pump. It may be

necessary to call for service to remove items.

It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps,

buckles, or zippers touch against the stainless steel basket.

Gurgling or humming Washer may be draining water. It is normal to hear the pump making a continuous humming

sound with periodic gurgling or surging as nal amounts of water

are removed during the spin/drain cycles.

Humming Load sensing may be occurring. You may hear the hum of the sensing spins after you have

started the washer. This is normal.

Whirring Basket may be slowing down. You may hear the whirring sound of the basket slowing down.

This is normal.

Water Leaks

Check the following for

proper installation:

Washer not level.

Water may splash off basket if washer is not level.

Fill hoses not attached tightly. Tighten ll-hose connection.

Fill hose washers. Make sure ll hose at washers are properly seated.

Drain hose connection. Properly secure drain hose to drainpipe or laundry tub.

Do not place tape over drain opening.

Check household plumbing for leaks

or clogged sink or drain.

Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all

household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water

pipes, and faucets).

Washer not loaded as recommended. An unbalanced load can cause basket to be out of alignment

and cause water to splash off tub. See “Using Your Washer”

for loading instructions.

Washer not performing as expected

Not enough water

in washer

Load not completely covered in

water.

This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load

will not be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes

and adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning.

IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. Adding water

lifts the items off the washplate, resulting in less effective

cleaning.

Run Clean Washer cycle to optimize the water level and

wash performance.

First try the solutions suggested here for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.

TROUBLESHOOTING
