This model has
AUTOMATIC LOAD SENSING
. This selection provides the correct amount of water suited to the size and
type of load placed in the unit.
- The washer will not fill with water during automatic load sensing 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.

This is a high efficiency washing mahine 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.

remaining minutes. When the time remaining is less than 60 minutes, the timer will count down.
