Washers Sensor Wash

The Sensor Wash feature senses the incoming water temperature and automatically adjusts the water temperature to the selection you have chosen. This provides you with the best washing and rinsing results. The temperature ranges are obtained by controlling the fill valve.

The following table lists the range limits of each temperature setting for the Sensor Wash models:

TemperatureSettingLowerUpper
Cold60 degrees F.80 degrees F.
Warm80 degrees F.100 degrees F.
Hot110 degrees F.140 degrees F.

Example: you select Cold water temperature setting. You live in a climate where your cold water temperature is 45 degrees F., and not the minimum temperature level of 60 degrees F. To reach the appropriate temperature, the Hot water side of the fill valve will add hot water in with the cold to equal 60 degrees.

There is not any sort of heating element used to control the water temperature. If Hot wash selection is chosen, the hot water will not exceed the capability of the water heater supplied to the washer. The Sensor Wash system will not heat the water, nor will it act as a chiller.

The washer will fill with the lid up. However, the Automatic Temperature Control will not obtain the correct water temperature. To get the best from the Sensor Wash, it is best to fill the machine with the lid closed.

The Sensor Wash light will remain on only during the initial fill, and if the temperature is achieved prior to the end of the first fill, it is possible that the light will not remain on during the whole first fill.
