SET WATER TEMPERATURE
CONTROL
Your washer lets you select a wash
and rinse water temperature setting
based on the type of load you are
washing.
• Using warm rinse water will leave
loads dryer after the spin cycle than
if you use cold rinse water. However,
warm rinses may increase wrinkling
when line drying.
• In cold climates, warm rinse water also
provides a more comfortable tempera-
ture for handling the wash load. Warm
rinse is controlled to 75°F on models
with Automatic Temperature Control.

*in wash water temperatures colder than 70°F, detergents do not dissolve well. Also, soils may
be difficult to remove and some fabrics may retain wear wrinkles and have increased pilling -
the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments. Pilling is the natural result of
wearing and washing of garments.
