• Cycle notifications – sends alerts to your phone when a cycle is finished or when detergent is running low, helping you avoid leaving wet clothes in the drum.

• Schedule Wash Cycle – allows you to tell the app when you want the load to be done, and the washer automatically chooses the start time so clothes are ready for the dryer when you are.

• Smart Tips – provides personalized usage and care tips based on your laundry habits to help improve cleaning performance and efficiency.

• Overnight Wash & Dry cycle – washes and then gently tumbles with fan‑assisted air circulation so a small load can be washed and dried in the washer overnight, ready to wear by morning.

• Quick Wash cycle – cleans small, lightly soiled loads in about 15 minutes using higher spin speeds, convenient when you need clothes in a hurry.

• Wrinkle Control cycle – uses warm water and lower spin speeds to help reduce wrinkling in fabrics, making clothes easier to iron or wear straight from the washer.

• Advanced Vibration Control™ Plus – employs a six‑point suspension system and load‑balancing technology to reduce vibration and noise, especially useful for upper‑floor or closet installations.

• Cycle Memory – remembers your last used settings for each cycle and automatically applies them the next time you select that cycle, saving setup time.

• Favorites / Custom cycles – lets you create, save, and send customized wash cycles to the washer so your preferred settings are available at the touch of a button.

• Late Add / Add Garment indicator – allows you to pause early in the cycle to add forgotten items when the indicator shows it’s still safe to open the door.

• 5.0 cu. ft. capacity (5.8 cu. ft. IEC Canada) – handles extra‑large loads, including bulky items and up to 31 towels at once, reducing the number of loads per week.

• Automatic load size sensing – adjusts water levels and certain cycle parameters based on the size of the load to optimize cleaning and efficiency.

• Multiple soil level selections – lets you choose from several soil settings (light to heavy) so the washer can tailor wash time and action to how dirty the load is.

• Multiple spin speed options – offers a range of spin speeds, including extra‑fast for better water extraction and lower speeds for delicate fabrics.

• Five temperature settings – provides Extra Hot, Hot, Warm, Cool, and Cold options so you can match water temperature to fabric care labels and stain types.

• Steam clean option – uses steam to help loosen tough stains and refresh fabrics, enhancing cleaning performance on select cycles.
