Understanding what happens in each cycle
When the Cycle Control Knob is set to a
number and pulled out, the washer fills (to
the selected load size) before agitation and
timing start. The washer begins agitating
immediately after filling; agitation occurs with
the washer lid up or down. After agitation starts, the Cycle Control Knob
turns clockwise until it points to an OFF area
and the cycle ends.
NOTE: The washer pauses briefly through-
out each cycle. These pauses are normal for
washer operation.

Self-cleaning lint filter
The lint filter at the bottom of the washer
basket cleans itself. During agitation, wash
and rinse water pass over the filter, separat-
ing the lint from the water. The lint is then
spun away from the filter and out of the
system during the spin part of the cycle.
If your washer drains into a tub, remove
any lint collected in the tub or strainer.
