18 OPERATION
7 End of cycle.
• When the cycle is finished, a melody sounds. Immediately remove the clothing from the washer to
reduce wrinkling.
• Check around the door seal when removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal.
• The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating the
clothing. It is normal to be unable to see water during the wash cycle.
• If the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door will not unlock when the
Start/Pause button is pressed, and the Add Item function will not be available (on applicable models).
To stop a cycle and drain the water completely, turn the power off, then on, and then select Rinse+Spin.
Loading the Washer
General Tips
• Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins,
matches, and other items can damage clothing
and the washer.
• Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to
prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.
• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items
before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade
other fabrics and lead to poor wash
performance.
• For best performance, load clothes as shown.
- Do not press down on items while stacking
them in the drum.
- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the
drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order
to get clean.
• Combine large and small items in the drum.
Load large items first. Large items should not be
more than half of the total load.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items. The
door of the washer must close easily.
• The washer will not fill or operate with the door
open.
• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water-
resistant must be washed in the Waterproof,
Bedding, Bulky/Large, or Jumbo Wash cycle
only. (Examples include water resistant clothing,
mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic
mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal
injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls,
floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal
vibration.
Bulky Items
• Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy
blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds
can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if
combined with other items.
Small Items
• Do not wash a single small item. Add enough
similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-
balance load.
• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small
items can get caught in the impeller at the
bottom of the drum, and brassiere hooks can
snag on other clothing or the drum.
