A:
To soak in this washer start your regular cycle but before the water is done feeling push the pause start pause button one time you will see the green light flashing in the progress under feel and just soak for whatever time you want then to restart the machine hit the start pause button 1 time in it will complete the wash I have soaked up to 3 hours and mine with no problem whatsoever I found this out after I had the washer for a year. But it works so I hope this helps good luckby

Please read the owners manual. It will explain everything I promise.9 years, 7 months ago
A:
This particular washer does this. If you do not load the soap first and then the clothes and close the lid; after 10 minutes the tun will drain the water and soap. This was created with the machine. You have to put the clothes in after the soap and close the lid. If you need to put something else in after the start of the machine, you have to hit the "pause" button and open the lid, then hit the "pause" button again and the machine will resume action.by

No - you should replace your hoses to avoid chance of leaks. I bought the Stainless steel ones - not that much more money9 years, 3 months ago
A:
The washer does not comes with the house, but Best Buy provides the option to buy 4' Rubber Washing Machine Fill Hose for $14.99 + tax that I paid when I bought the washer in December 2014. There is another similar hose, but made of different materials for double the price. According to Best Buy Home Delivery Terms and Conditions states the following: 'only new hoses will be connected, which will need to be purchased at Best Buy'. Hope this helps.by

Q:
Seems slow compare to my last Whirlpool. I am concerned that it is not moving fast enoughto create the agitation to wash properly. Sounds like it is on delicate cycle. Just got the
machine and am trying first wash.

Cleans really well but don't know about the actual speed due to the lid lock feature. Had a pair of really grimey jeans that I had wore a few times (due to no washer) to work on the car with and they came out great, grease spots gone and ground in VISIBLE dirt all gone!!Hope this helps.

A:
I'm sure no one does. With the torque of these washer motors, it would be extremely dangerous to allow that. Anyone, even a kid could reach inside and maybe even lose an arm.I was hoping you could open it at other times like during agitation as my old washer allowed. Maybe they find that too hazardous too in this day of lawsuits!
