Know before you buy
The Dual Action Agitator features two pieces that move independently to provide a more thorough rollover of clothes. This design helps ensure that garments are cleaned evenly while effectively breaking down tough dirt and stains.
The Sanitize with Oxi cycle is specifically designed to eliminate bacteria and stubborn stains, making it ideal for towels, bedding, and heavily soiled items. Because it uses higher temperatures and specific chemistry, it is best to avoid using this cycle on delicate fabrics or items that require cold-water washing.
The Eco Cold option allows you to achieve a deep clean while using cold water, which significantly reduces the energy required to heat the water. It is an effective way to lower your utility costs without sacrificing the washer's ability to remove dirt.
No, this washer features a manual dispenser system. You will need to add your detergent directly to the tub or the designated manual compartment before starting your cycle.
Yes, this model is specifically designed with a Spanish language control panel to ensure clear operation and accessibility for Spanish-speaking users.
The extra soaking option allows you to pre-treat heavily soiled items by letting them sit in water and detergent before the main wash begins. The intense wash setting increases the agitation time and intensity to help lift stubborn, ground-in dirt from your fabrics.
