Your Smart Drive has a lidlock, 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.
The lidlock light (above the START/PAUSE button)
comes on when the lid is locked to tell you when you
cannot open the lid. In short it means you can open
the lid while your Smart Drive is filling, agitating, and
draining, but not while it is spinning.
• When the Lidlock light is on, the lid is locked.
• When the Lidlock light is off, the lid is not locked
and the lid can be opened.
• If the Lidlock light is flashing the Lidlock is in
process of locking or unlocking, (i.e. while the
machine coasts down or START/PAUSE has been
pressed). During this stage the lid still cannot be
lifted.
The lidlock remains unlocked for the majority of the
cycle allowing you to add clothes, dissolve detergent
or to add fabric softener (if you do not want to use
the Automatic Fabric Softener Dispenser).
The chart below shows the stages when the lid is
locked.
Keep children away from the machine, especially
when you are using hot water, as the lid can be
opened during fill and agitate.

If the lid is left open,
the machine will be
unable to lock and the
cycle will be halted.
The machine will play a
tune and the lidlock
light will flash until the
lid is closed and
START/PAUSE is pressed.
DO NOT
put anything
down the slot in the top
deck of your machine.
DO NOT
try to disable
the lidlock.
