Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.

For best performance, it is recommended to load items in loose 

heaps evenly around the washplate.

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. 
IMPORTANT: 

• You will not see a washer basket full of water as with your 

past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some of the load to 

be above the water line.

• 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. 

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be

marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates

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. See “Using 

Laundry Product Dispensers” for more information.

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 sounds as the 

washplate moves the load and as basket is slowing down to 

a stop. And 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. 

Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than

diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this 

washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils. This low 

water wash also allows the clothing to move in a more effective 

way to remove soils.

The washer automatically adjusts the water level to the load 

size—no water level selector is needed.

wash system

Once you start the cycle, the washer will fill to the water level.

When the washer is done filling, it will start to agitate after it

determines the correct water level for the load.

This low-water wash method uses less water and energy 

compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.
