Automatic Load Sensing
This determines the correct agitate profile, agitate duration and amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the
washer. The washer will not start the wash cycle or fill with water if the lid is open. When the lid is closed the machine is able to
begin filling with water in order to sense the load size.
NOTE: Automatic Load Sensing initiates a spin at the beginning of the cycle and will take as much as 3 minutes to complete
(significantly shorter for smaller loads); this is normal operation.
NOTE: This is a high efficiency washing machine with Infusor wash action. This system requires less water while providing effective
cleaning action. You may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal for an Infusor-equipped
washer.
