Whirlpool Washer W10240442A Manual De Usuario

Your washer has several benefits and features that are summarized here. Some items may not apply to your model.

This washer senses the load size and composition through a 
series of fills and wash motion. It then adjusts the water level for 
the best cleaning and rinsing performance. It eliminates the 
guesswork. The water level is just right for every wash load size.

The Care Control Temperature Management system on this 
washer electronically senses and maintains a uniform water 
temperature by regulating incoming water temperatures. Using 
Care Control will help dissolve detergent.

The Deep Clean option uses Direct Inject Cleaning Action to help 
ensure better soil and stain removal. Deep Clean reduces the 
need for pretreatment. The washer fills to a low level, wetting the 
clothes and dissolving the detergent. The detergent mixture is 
then sprayed onto the load while the washer spins at low speed. 
This cleaning action will last up to 10 minutes depending on the 
cycle selected. The washer then stops spinning, fills with water to 
the appropriate level and continues washing with the selected 
cycle.

Your new washer includes these features that help to reduce 
noise, increase the ease of use and improve wash performance. 

6th Sense™ Technology features built-in intelligence that “knows 
each wash load” for optimal cleaning, fabric care and efficiency. 
From weighing the size of the load to determining how much 
water is needed to clean it, the 6th Sense™ combination of 
intuitive features takes the guesswork out of clothes care. Three 
levels of off-balance protection and a suds detection sensor help 
ensure worry- and error-free operation for further peace of mind.

Electronic controls with preset cycles are easy to use whether you 
are a beginner or an “expert.”

This washer is insulated with sound-dampening materials to 
reduce washer operation sounds and noises. On some models, 
an additional tub wrap is added for superb vibration- and sound-
dampening.

To reduce washer “walk” and “out of balance” conditions, your 
new washer combines:

■

4 Spring damper struts to isolate vibration

■

Balance ring at the top and bottom of the wash basket to 
minimize vibration

■

Operating software designed to sense and correct off-balance 
loads

The stainless steel basket is corrosion resistant and enables 
higher spin speeds for more water extraction than traditional top-
load washers, reducing drying time.

This washer filters 100% of the wash and rinse water. The water is 
filtered then recirculated. The force filter traps sand and dirt, 
flushing them down the drain, so they are not redeposited onto 
the clean clothes.

Delay Wash allows you to load your washer and pause the start of 
the cycle for up to 8 hours. 

The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the 
wash cycle is finished. This signal is helpful when you are 
removing items from the washer as soon as it stops.
