What'S New Under The Lid; Specifications - Whirlpool 4GWTW4740 Manual De Uso

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
Lid Lock
To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the
Lid Locked light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid is
locked and cannot be opened. When this light is blinking,
the washer is paused. When this light is off, the lid can be
opened. After a cycle is started, water will enter washer
then lock. If you need to open the lid to add a garment
after this point, you must press START/PAUSE/UNLOCK
and wait for the lid to unlock. The lid will only unlock after
washer movement has stopped. Depending on when in
the cycle you try to pause, it may take several seconds to
several minutes for the lid to unlock.
Sensing
This washer will perform a series of spins to check for load
balance. When a load is started, it may take 2–3 minutes
before water begins to enter the basket. During this time,
a series of clicks and a whirring noise signal that sensing
technology is determining if there is an off-balance load.
IMPORTANT:
• After the washer basket fills to the selected water level, the lid must be closed before the wash cycle can start.
If filling stops with the lid open, close lid and press START button.
• Fabric Softener Added option must be selected "Yes" to ensure fabric softener dispenses at the correct time.
NOTE: Fabric Softener dispenser not available on all models.

Sounds
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear
sounds and pauses that are different from those of your
previous washer. For example, you may hear a clicking
and hum at the beginning of the cycle as the lid lock
goes through a self-test. There will be different kinds of
humming and whirring sounds as the agitator tests for
load balance or moves the load. And, sometimes, you may
hear nothing at all as the washer allows time for clothes to
soak.
Spray Rinse
Select cycles default to a spray rinse. During these cycles,
you will hear water enter the washer as the tub spins,
allowing the rinse water to penetrate clothes. Check the
"Cycle Guide" for details.
