Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the capacity of the washer?

A: The washer has a 4.1 cubic feet capacity, suitable for washing bulky items like king-size linens.

Q: What wash cycles and options are available?

A: The washer offers 12 wash cycles, including Normal, Quick Wash, Heavy Duty, Delicates, and Sanitize with Oxi. Options include Extra Rinse, Presoak, Water Level, and temperature selection.

Q: Does the washer have a fabric softener dispenser?

A: Yes, this model includes a fabric softener dispenser.

Q: Does the washer use an agitator?

A: No, this is a top-load impeller washer, which uses a low-profile cone or disc that rotates to rub clothes against each other for a gentle clean.

Q: The washer is not draining or spinning properly. What should I do?

A:

• Check the drain hose to ensure it’s not kinked, clogged, or inserted too far into the standpipe (which should be 30 to 96 inches high).
• Balance the load by redistributing clothes evenly and removing excess items.
• Choose a cycle with a higher spin speed, as gentle cycles spin slower and leave more water.
• Avoid excessive suds by using the recommended detergent amount.
• Inspect the lid lock to ensure it is closing securely, as a faulty lid lock prevents spinning.

Q: My washer's lights are blinking. What does this mean?

A: Blinking lights can indicate different issues:

Power surge: After an outage, try resetting by unplugging or toggling the circuit breaker.

Wash light blinking: May mean the water level hasn’t changed; check that both hot and cold water faucets are on and hoses are not blocked.

Lid lock light blinking: The washer is paused; press Start/Pause to resume. If opening the lid, wait for the drum to stop moving as it may take a moment to unlock.

Q: How do I clean the washer?

A: Use the "Clean Washer with affresh®" cycle by adding an affresh® washing machine cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine bleach to the drum and running the cycle every 30 washes.
