Kenmore 700 Series Washer Details
The Kenmore 700 Series washing machine introduces a significant shift in laundry care with its innovative low-water washplate system. Unlike older agitator-style washers, this model does not fully submerge clothes in water. Instead, it precisely adjusts the water level to the load size through automatic sensing, promoting concentrated cleaning and direct detergent delivery to soils for enhanced stain removal.
Upon starting a cycle, the lid locks, and the washer begins a sensing process, often involving an initial basket spin, to determine the ideal water level. This can take several minutes before water is added, and it is entirely normal for some items to remain above the water line, reflecting the machine's energy and water-efficient design.
A crucial aspect of maintaining optimal performance is the exclusive use of High Efficiency (HE) detergents. Using regular, non-HE detergents will lead to excessive sudsing, prolonged cycle times, reduced rinsing effectiveness, and potentially component damage or the growth of mold and mildew. Always adhere to the detergent manufacturer's instructions and avoid exceeding the Max fill line in the dispenser.
Users may notice a variety of sounds different from traditional washers, including clicking and humming during lid lock self-tests, as well as distinct humming and whirring as the washplate moves the load or the basket decelerates. Periods of silence are also normal, indicating the washer is sensing load size or allowing time for items to soak, all part of its advanced operation.
The control panel features a responsive touch surface designed for finger-tip interaction, ensuring accurate selection of illuminated options. The estimated time remaining display is dynamic, adjusting based on factors like load size, water pressure, and even imbalances or excessive suds, providing an adaptable cycle duration.
Customization is a key benefit, offered through various cycle modifiers. You can adjust the Wash Temp, Soil Level (selecting "Ex Heavy" for more wash time or "Light" to reduce tangling and wrinkling), and Spin Speed. While spin speed is automatically set, manual adjustments allow for faster drying (higher speed) or reduced wrinkling (lower speed).
A range of cycle options further enhances versatility. Prewash adds extra agitation for tough stains, and Deep Fill provides maximum water for bulky items, ensuring they move freely. The TimedOxi option precisely dispenses laundry boosters like oxygenated stain removers, but it's important not to use it concurrently with chlorine bleach.
Additional options include Two Rinses for thorough cleaning, and Fabric Softener, which must be selected to ensure proper, timed distribution. Models also feature Stain Treat or Stain Boost for enhanced action against stubborn stains, adding extra agitation and soak time to specific cycles.
The cycle status lights clearly indicate progress, from "DELAY" to "COMPLETE." The "ADD A GARMENT" light is particularly convenient, allowing users to pause the cycle, unlock the lid, add missed items, and resume without sacrificing wash performance. However, if the lid is left open for over 10 minutes, the water will pump out, triggering an F8E6 error code.
Dispenser usage is critical for optimal results. Dedicated compartments exist for liquid fabric softener, HE liquid or powder detergent, Oxi booster, and liquid chlorine bleach. Remember, never mix Oxi products with liquid chlorine bleach in the same dispenser or cycle. Single-dose laundry packets should be placed directly into the basket before adding clothes, not into any dispenser.
For best cleaning and to prevent tangling, load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate, ideally mixing different sized garments. Always empty pockets, close zippers, and mend any rips before washing. Regular maintenance is also vital: always use HE detergent, occasionally use warm or hot water washes, and crucially, leave the washer lid open between uses to prevent odor-causing residue. A monthly "Clean Washer" cycle with liquid chlorine bleach is recommended to keep the interior fresh.
