Install your washer almost anywhere with a space-saving design. The compact 24" width and 1.9 cu. ft. capacity make it easy to fit laundry into tight quarters while providing enough room to thoroughly wash your day-to-day loads.

Save Time option

Get your clothes ready to wear sooner thanks to the Save Time option that cleans lightly soiled loads that don't need the full wash time.

Colors option

Preserve your colors. The Colors option uses cold water to help protect colors so they remain vibrant, and even saves energy by not heating the water.

Sleek Tap Touch controls with Memory

Start your next load quickly using the sleek control interface of the Tap Touch controls with Memory. This technology allows direct access to washer functions and even remembers your last cycle and settings to save you time.

Handwash cycle

The Handwash cycle uses lower spin speeds combined with reduced tumbling to soak the load and clean clothes gently.

PreWash option

Skip presoaking in the sink by hand and let the washer do it for you using the PreWash option. Additional wash time before the cycle starts helps take on heavily soiled loads that contain everyday tough stains.

Wool cycle

Cool water and slow spin speeds clean your washable delicates to provide everything you'd expect from gentle fabric care on the Wool cycle.

Synthetics cycle

Care for your family's everyday wear. Clothes will remain cared for during the Synthetics cycle as warm water and max spin speed work together to gently lift normal soils from fabrics.
