Cold:
Cold water valve energized.
Cold selection is tempered by default for main
wash.
Cold can be tempered by cycling of hot water
valve to achieve target temperature of 80°F
(27°C).
Warm:
Hot and cold water valves energized.
Warm can be tempered by cycling of hot and
cold valves to achieve target temperature of
105°F (40.5°C).
Warm selection is tempered by default for main
wash.
Hot:
Hot water valve energized.
Hot can be tempered by cycling of cold water
valve to achieve target temperature of 120°F
(49°C).
Hot selection is tempered by default main wash.
Sanitize:
Hot water valve energized.
Sanitize can be tempered by cycling of cold
water valve, or heater operation, to achieve
target temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Tumble Wash
Wash routines are programmed by cycle. The only
adjustment to the tumble routine is through cycle
selection.
The basket rotates clockwise for a predetermined
period of time at a predetermined speed. The
basket pauses for a predetermined period of
time. The basket rotates counterclockwise for a
predetermined period of time at a predetermined
speed. The length of tumble wash time is adaptive
to the soil level programmed into the machine at the
start of the cycle.
Spin
The spin is designed to extract as much water and
detergent as possible without harming fabrics.
Speeds can be as slow as 90 rpm (out of balance
default) to as high as 1000 rpm.

The available selection of spin speeds is controlled
by cycle selection.
For example:
Selecting a spin speed modifi es fi nal spin only
and must be made before fi nal spin takes place.
The length of time required to achieve spin rpm is
monitored by the control via the motor sensor. With
a balanced load, if the selected spin speed cannot
be achieved, the washer will default to highest
speed attained and will increase spin time.
Off-balance load protection is programmed into
the control board. If speed is not achieved, the spin
routine halts. The washer tumbles to redistribute the
load and attempts to spin again. After 5 attempts,
if an off-balance load remains detected, spin speed
defaults to the highest speed attained or 90 rpm
(whichever is greater) for the remainder of the cycle.
Spin Speed Whites Delicates
High 1000 rpm 525 rpm
Medium 750 rpm 450 rpm
Low 525 rpm 350 rpm
