SHER

Cycle Options

Deep Fill

Select the 

Deep Fill

 feature for loads where extra water is desired. 

The 

Deep Fill

 feature is recommended for special case 

loads only, not for typical use.

Press and release the 

Deep Fill

 button once before starting the cycle to add 3 addition gallons of water to the wash load. 

Holding the 

Deep Fill

 button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible; this will increase cycle time due to the 

additional time it takes to fill the washer. 
To cancel the option if desired, press the 

Deep Fill

 button again.

NOTE:

 The 

Deep Fill

 button can also be pressed after the washer has completed filling and is in the wash phase if 

additional water is desired. To stop the extra fill, press the 

Deep Fill

 button again and the water will stop.

Power Pre-wash 

(on some models) 

Ideal for heavily soiled loads, this cycle option works with SmartDispense™ to add a brief wash, soak and drain cycle to 

loosen and remove heavy soil before starting the cycle selected.

Tangle Control™ 

(on some models) 

Setting this option will adjust your wash cycle to aid in the prevention of tangling. Your cycle time may increase when this 

option is selected. 

NOTE:

 This option is not allowed for some cycles.

Warm Rinse 

(on some models)

Provides a warm rinse to your wash load. Note that rinsing operations may be different with this operation selected in order 

to effectively apply the warm rinse water to your load.

Auto Soak

This option begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle 

automatically. Repeated pressing of the 

Soak

 button will scroll through 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour and 2 hour selections 

and then return back to 0 soak minutes.

Deep Rinse

Set this option to provide a deep rinse

 

or when using fabric softener. It may change other settings (e.g. 

Spin

 may go to a 

higher setting) to maximize performance.

Delay Wash

When the 

Delay Wash

 button is repeatedly pressed, the delay time is set from 1 (01H) to 9 (09H) hours and back to clear 

(00H) hours. If you press and hold the 

Delay Wash

 button for 3 seconds, it will immediately reset.

Extra Rinse

When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, use the 

Extra Rinse

 option to better remove 

additional residues. 

NOTE: 

This option is not allowed for some cycles.

Smarter Wash Technology 

(on some models)

The 

Auto 

setting balances wash performance, fabric care, and cycle time for normally-soiled or lightly-soiled loads. 

Gentle Care

 reduces agitation time and adds a series of soaks to reduce fabric wear/fading while still providing great wash 

performance on garments needing special care.
Use 

Power Clean

 to add heavy agitation and soaking to boost wash performance for loads needing a deep clean.

Additional Options

My Cycle Settings

As the cycle selector knob is turned, the 

Temp

Soil

 and 

Spin

 settings change to automatic pre-set default settings for each 

cycle. If you desire different default settings, select the desired options or changes to the cycle settings, then press and hold 

the 

My Cycle

 button for 3 seconds to store them. The 

My Cycle

 button will light when active. In the future, when you 

turn the selector knob to that cycle, your settings will be automatically recalled. To restore the factory defaults temporarily 

(i.e. for this load), press the 

My Cycle

 button for 1/2 second. The 

My Cycle

 light will turn off and the factory defaults will 

load. However, the next time you select this cycle, your 

My Cycle

 settings will load. If you wish to permanently restore the 

factory default settings for the cycle; when the 

My Cycle

 is active (button light on) press and hold the 

My Cycle

 button for 3 

seconds. The factory defaults will load for the selected cycle and the 

My Cycle

 light will turn off. The default settings will load 

when this cycle is selected in the future and the 

My Cycle

 light will remain off. 

NOTE:

 My Cycle saves the following options: 

Temp

Soil

Spin

Extra Rinse

Deep Fill

Warm Rinse

Auto Soak

Deep Rinse

Tangle Control

Auto

Power Clean

Gentle Care

 and 

Stain Removal Guide

.

Sound (on some models)

Use the 

Volume 

button to change the volume of the end of cycle signal and other system tones. Press the button until you reach 

the desired volume (high, medium, low) or off.

Control Lock

Use the control lock before or during a cycle to prevent any selections from being made.

To lock/unlock the washer controls,

 depending on model, press and hold either the 

Warm Rinse

 and 

Auto Soak

 buttons for 3 

seconds or the 

Rinse

 and 

Spin 

buttons for 3 seconds. The control lock icon will light up when it is on. 

NOTE:

 The 

Power

 button can still be used when the machine is locked.
