Know before you buy
This model uses a low-profile impeller instead of a center post agitator. This design creates more room for bulky items like comforters and is generally gentler on fabrics while still providing effective cleaning action.
Yes, this washer features a late lid lock safety mechanism. You can pause the cycle to add forgotten garments, provided the water level and cycle stage allow for safe access.
The Deep Fill option allows you to manually increase the water level in the drum. This is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads or items that require extra water to ensure they are fully submerged and rinsed.
Yes, the stainless steel drum is more durable and resistant to odors, rust, and chipping. It also allows for higher spin speeds, which helps extract more water from your clothes to reduce drying time.
The Cold Plus option is designed to optimize cleaning performance in cold water by adjusting the wash action and cycle timing. It is a great way to save on energy costs without sacrificing the cleanliness of your everyday laundry.
The 10-year limited warranty specifically covers the motor of the washing machine. This provides long-term peace of mind for one of the most critical mechanical components of the appliance.
