Warranty Information

This washer has a two-year full warranty covering parts and labor, with limited warranties for specific components.

Operating Your Washer

To start your washer, set the Cycle Control knob to your desired cycle and time, then pull it out. The washer will fill to the selected load size before starting the wash. During agitation, the agitator creates a rollover action for cleaning. The Cycle Control knob advances automatically. Pauses throughout the cycle are normal.

Key Operations:

  • WASH: Includes fill, wash, and drain cycles.
  • RINSE: Includes fill, rinse, and spin cycles.
  • Selecting Cycles: Use the Cycle Control knob for wash cycles like Normal, Extra Wash, Wrinkle Resist/Permanent Press, Delicate, Handwashables, Soak, and Pre-Wash.
  • Load Size and Temperature: Use the LOAD SIZE selector and TEMPERATURE selector to match your load.
  • Optional Features: EXTRA RINSE and END OF CYCLE SIGNAL may be available.
