USINGYOUR WASHER Loading suggestions For these suggested full-sized loads, set the LOAD SIZE selector to the highest load size setting. SUPER CAPACITY When the Cycle Control knob is set to a number and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation occurs with the washer lid up or down.
Your new washer may make sounds your old one didn't. Because the sounds might be unfamiliar, you may be concerned about them. These sounds are normal. During washing When you select a small load size setting, your washer has a lower water level. This can cause a clicking sound from the upper part of the agitator. Electrical Shock Hazard During drain Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Bleach will be diluted automatically during the wash part of the cycle. • You may change the load size selection after the washer has started filling by turning the selector to a different setting. , • Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load.

CARINGFORYOUR WASHER Cleaning the exterior Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as detergent or bleach.
Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the bottom of the basket. Wash and rinse water flow over the filter during agitation, separating the lint from the water. The lint spins out of the system during the spin part of the cycle. If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint collected in the tub or strainer. Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer.
TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call... Washer won't fill, rinse or agitate Check the following: Is the power cord plugged in? Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined up with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right slightly and pull to start.
Washer leaks Check the following: Are the fill hoses tight? Are the fill hose washers properly seated? Is the drain hose clamp properly installed? See the Installation Instructions. Is the sink or drain clogged? Sink and standpipe must be able to handle 17 gallons (64 L) of water per minute. Is water deflecting off the tub ring or the load? Center the tub before starting the washer. The wash load should be balanced and not overloaded. The fill or spray rinses can deflect off the load.
Load is wrinkled Did you unload the washer promptly? Unload the washer as soon as it stops. Garment damage • Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Use the Permanent Press cycle or another cycle with low spin speeds (if available) to reduce wrinkling. Did you overload the machine? The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded.
