WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Cleaning with Less Water

Traditional agitator-style

washer

The most striking difference in your new washer is the low-water

washplate wash system. The washer automatically adjusts the

water level to the load size—no water level selector is needed.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.

Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate;

when loaded, the center of the washplate should be visible.

As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the

garments will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not

indicate that more garments 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.

Automatic Load Size Sensing

Once you start the cycle, the lid will lock, and the washer will

begin the sensing process to determine the correct water level

for the load. This may take several minutes before water is

added. You will find a step-by-step description in the "Cycle

Status Lights" section.

You will hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to

thoroughly wet the load. This low-water wash method uses

less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style

washer.

Choosing the Right Detergent

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.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

NOTE: Whirlpool recommends the use of "HE" liquid detergent

for best results. If you prefer to use "HE" powdered detergent,

dissolve in warm water first before adding it to the dispenser to

improve wash performance.

Concentrated Cleaning

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.

Normal Sounds You Can Expect

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 and whirring sounds as the

washplate moves the load. 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.
