Your
FabricSmart™
has a lid lock, which locks
when your machine is spinning. This ensures
the lid cannot be opened during hazardous
parts of the cycle, providing added safety for
you and your family.
A Lid lock symbol ( ) appears in the corner of the screen when locked (it disappears when
unlocked), letting you know at a glance if you can open the lid or not.
In short, it means you can open the lid while your
FabricSmart™
is filling, agitating and draining,
but not while it is spinning, allowing you to add or remove clothes, dissolve detergent or add
fabric softener (that is if you do not want to use the Automatic Fabric Softener Dispenser).
The chart below shows the stages when the lid is locked/unlocked.

If the lid is left open, the machine will be unable to lock the lid and the cycle will be halted. The
machine will beep and a message will appear in the display screen saying “Help! I can’t LOCK
THE LID. Close lid and press START”.

Do not put anything down the slot in the top deck.

Do not try to disable the lid lock.
Keep children away from the machine especially when you are using hot water as the lid can be
opened during fill and agitate.
