Getting started
Display
and Status Lights
Display:
The display shows the
approximate
time remaining until the end of the cycle.
NOTE:
The cycle time is affected by
how long it takes the washer to fill. This depends on the water pressure in your home. The size of the load being washed also
significantly impacts cycle time, with larger loads taking longer.
In addition, this display will, “scroll” the washer status:
• bALAnCINg
Start of rebalancing cycle to redistribute clothes. Stops after rebalancing is complete.
• dELAY
When
Delay Wash
is initiated. Replaced with estimated time when cycle starts.
• End
End of current cycle.
• FILL
“FILL” will scroll across the display during fill. Afterwards the estimated end of cycle time is displayed.
• H2O SUPPLY
Can not sense water level (water supply possibly turned off).
• LId
Cycle stopped because lid is open. Close the lid and press the
Start
button if needed.
• SEnSIng
Sensing out-of-balance condition, waterproof items, or load size and type before and during fill (normal).
• PAUSE
Cycle paused because the lid was opened during start up sequence or the
Start/Pause
button was pressed.
Press
Start
button again to restart the cycle.
Cycle status lights:
Shows whether the washer is in the
Pre-wash, Delay, Fill, Soak, Wash, Rinse
or
Spin
portion of the
cycle.
NOTE:
Cycle status lights vary by model.
If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the
Spin
light will blink during the remaining portion of the cycle
and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the
out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load
and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly
in the wash basket and run a
Drain & Spin
cycle.
C
Your washer is equipped with Consumer Help Indicator (CHI). CHI is our way to communicate a simple remedy for some situations
that you can perform without the need to call for service. The chart below describes the helpful messages you may notice scrolling
on your display when you return to start another load. These messages will provide simple remedies you can quickly perform.

“
H2O SUPPLY
”
(Water not
entering washer)
Check your house water supply. Did you forget to turn on one or both supply valves after installation or
coming back from vacation? As soon as the message starts to scroll, the washer will initiate a 4 minute lock-
out period. The washer controls won’t respond/change during this time. After the 4 minutes, you can begin
your cycle again. If you try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging the washer, the 4 minute timer will
start over again.
“
CAnCELEd
”
“CAnCELEd” may scroll on the display if the machine was paused for longer than 24 hours or if the machine
has stopped itself before the cycle completed due to certain errors. As soon as the message starts to scroll,
the washer will initiate a 4 minute lock-out period. The washer controls won’t respond/change during this time.
After the 4 minute period, you can begin your cycle again. If you try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging
the washer, the 4 minute timer will start over again. If the problem persists, call GE Appliances at 800.
