Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a 
beginner or an expert.

The four compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all 
laundry additives before the washer is started. The additives will 
be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for high 
performance cleaning. Aimed bleach release is included in the 
detergent advantage system. The detergent is added at the 
beginning of the cycle and the bleach is added after the enzymes 
have had a chance to do their cleaning. The fabric softener is 
dispensed in the rinse cycle. The Detergent Advantage System 
Dispenser tray is easily removed for cleaning. 

Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the washer to 
use the minimal amount of water needed to clean and rinse the 
clothes. Because only the required amount of water is used, the 
washer saves energy, too.

Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such 
as an average size sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more 
clothes at one time, which means fewer loads.

To reduce washer “walk” and “off-balance” conditions, your new 
washer combines:

■

2 Springs to isolate vibration

■

4 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement

The Stainless Steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher 
spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.

The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to 
give the optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning conditions. The 
motor can handle slow speeds needed for wool and delicate 
items, but it is powerful enough to handle a large clothes load.

Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with 
fewer, larger loads, conserves resources and lowers your water 
and energy bills too.

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the 
cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however. 
This washer offers up to six different spin speed choices.

The heating system ensures that the wash water is heated to the 
preset temperature for Heavy Duty, White/Cotton, Sanitary, and 
the Soil Treat option. It also provides “stepped cleaning” when 
using the Sanitary cycle or the Soil Treat option. “Stepped 
cleaning” starts the wash cycle with warm water to remove stains 
(such as blood or grass). The water continues heating in order to 
remove stains such as dirty mechanical oil. 

When lighted, Rapid Wash, Normal/Casual, Heavy Duty, White/
Cotton, and Sanitary can be paused and the door unlocked so 
you can add a garment that may have been forgotten when 
loading the washer. The ADD A GARMENT status message is 
displayed for up to the first 8 minutes of a cycle and then the 
LOCKED message will be displayed.

A concentrated detergent solution is sprayed onto the clothes at 
the beginning of the cycle to ensure that the detergent comes 
into contact with the clothes as quickly as possible, removing 
stains from your clothes without pretreating.

This washer uses two sensors to detect load size and the amount 
of off-balance within the load. The suspension system and 
controls are specially designed to redistribute the load 
automatically.
