A:AnswerIt has a rapid wash setting that is around 35 mins. for entire cycle (wash, rinse, and spin). It can be slight more or less time if you adjust the soil level and or spin speed.
A:AnswerYes!! MINE has the soft-close lid and mine is this exact model (with agitator) which we just had delivered. You could double check with your store but that was one of the features I liked about this model.
A:AnswerThe specs should read 27.5" deep, 27" wide. I've got the washing machine in my home. It would be 27" X 27" but there is a metal panel on the back of the machine that sticks out 1/2".
A:AnswerI've had the machine less than a week, and I have no answers. Why not call Maytyag's 800-number and ask them? If anyone can give you the straight scoop about your questions, it should be them...... Meanwhile, the couple of loads we've done have seemed slower but remarkably quiet than the 40+ year old washer it replaces; it also seems to use an incredibly small amount of water compared to the old one. After you see how well this thing works, your questions might just go away!

Lid lock
When the START/Pause button is touched, the washer will
first perform a self-test on the lid lock mechanism. You will
hear a click, the basket will make a slight turn, and the lid will
unlock briefly before locking again.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer will use
short, slow spins to estimate the load size. These sensing
spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before water is added to the
load and you may hear the hum of these spins.
A:AnswerI was playing with the machine at the store and the regular cycle is about 54 minutes as long as you don't make any additional selections, else it can go into the 1 hour and 10min or so.
A:AnswerMy preference is an agitator. The washer is very deep and holds way more than I would have expected. Much more than my previous washer and it was designed for heavy duty washing & larger items.
A:AnswerTo open the lid after it clicks and the indicator light for "locked" turns on, you press the pause button. After a moment, there will be another click and the indicator light for "locked" will turn off. You can then safely open the door and throw something else in. When you close the lid again, press and hold the pause button to relock the lid and continue the wash cycle.
A:AnswerIf our previous model (a Sears purchase, 9 yrs ago), is any guide, this washer is much quieter. If the Sears model was an 8 (loud), this would be a 4. And the auditory cues it gives at start and finish are much better then the loud buzz the old model used as a signal.
A:AnswerYes, there is a tray with three separate compartments within the machine. Once you lift the lid, a tray slides out and there's a spot for softener, detergent and 'OXI'. I've used the fabric softener compartment once. It seemed to release the fabric softener almost as soon as I poured it into the tray and shut it. Not sure why they wouldn't have you put the softener directly on the clothes as that's what the tray seemed to do.
A:AnswerI always only pour in the washer and not the slot for it. Water drain place selector or rinse cycle and see if it drains. If not pray you bought the warranty have have them replace.
A:AnswerThis is our 1st HE washer.Its a different experience. We haven't been using it 2 months yet.The sounds it makes is like nothing your use to,not loud just different. There are not alot of choices for washers with agitators, but it seems to clean the clothes just fine.So far i am happy with the machine.
A:AnswerIt comes out wrinkled which goes a way after you dry the clothes. I am use to front load washer with no wrinkles. However the clothes are not heavy feeling in the dryer and feels softer afterwards.
A:AnswerIt will continue at the presets when it began. To change after it starts, press pause - then power button and choose the desired setting, but all liquid in tank will flush out and soap or cleaners will still be mixed with the clothes. You can press rapid wash or continue with new settings but use less detergent.
