CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each
stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that
are different from traditional washers.
SENSING
When the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid/Cancel button is pressed
and the Water Level knob is set to Auto, the washer will
fill and begin sensing to determine load size and balance.
A short but noticeable pause in the cycle action occurs
during sensing. This is normal.
Once sensing is complete, the washer will fill to the
appropriate level for the detected load size and,
on select cycles, agitation will occur during filling.
This, too, is normal. When the washer is done filling,
it will begin the wash phase of the cycle. To ensure
that the most accurate load size is detected, avoid
opening the lid during the “Sensing” phase.
NOTE:
Sensing and wash phases will be paused
by opening the unlocked lid. Close the lid to resume
the cycle. If the lid is left open for more than 10 minutes,
the washer will cancel the cycle and pump out the water.
WASH
The washer will fill to the correct water level based
on the load size and the Water Level selection. Certain
cycles may agitate during the fill process to boost cleaning.
When the wash cycle begins, you will hear the impeller
increase speed. The motor sounds may change at different
stages in the wash cycle while the washer performs
different wash actions.
NOTE:
The lid will automatically lock after the wash
phase completes and before the initial spinout occurs,
and will remain locked for the rest of the cycle.
RINSE
Certain cycles use a spray rinse, which adds water to the
tub while the basket spins. You may hear the motor turning
on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling. In
some cases, you may also hear sounds similar to the wash
cycle as the washer fills, rinses, and moves the load.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for
proper water removal, based on the selected cycle
and spin speed.
COMPLETE
Once the cycle is complete, the lid will unlock and this light
will come on. For best results, remove the load promptly.
LID LOCKED
The Lid Locked feature allows for higher
spin speeds. When the Lid Locked light is
lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened
without pausing the cycle. When the
light is off, the lid can be opened.
To open the lid after it has been locked,
press START/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID/
CANCEL. The lid will unlock once the
washer movement has stopped. This
may take several minutes if the load
was spinning at high speed. Press
START/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID/CANCEL
again to resume the cycle.
