WHATS NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaning with Less Water Automatic Load Size Sensing
Once you start the cycle, the washer will fill to the water level.
When the washer is done filling, it will start to agitate after it
determines the correct level for the load. The washer will then
fill to the appropriate water level based on the load size.
This low-water wash method uses less water and energy compared
to a traditional agitator-style washer.
Washplate
Improved Cleaning
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than
diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this washer

allows the clothing to move in a more effective way to remove soils.
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.

Helpful Tips:
When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load
