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.
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.

What's New Under the Lid?
Washplate Washplate
Low-water washer
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.
Initially the basket will start to spin prior to adding water; this is
part of the sensing process and is normal. 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 non-HE detergent. Using
non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and
reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
malfunction and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE
detergents should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to
produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
They should hold soil in suspension so it is not redeposited
onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as High Efficiency
are identical in formulation and their ability to reduce suds.
For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE detergents
may generate a high level of suds. If you use one of these
and see an "F0E2" error code appear in the display, consider
using a different HE detergent. Always follow the detergent
manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of
detergent to use. Do not go over the Max line on the dispenser.
See "Using Laundry Product Dispensers" for more information.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Improved 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. This low
water wash also allows the clothing to move in a more effective
way to remove 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 as the basket is slowing down to
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.
