Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin

The Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option will periodically tumble 

the load after the end of the cycle for up to 

24 hours

 

while the integrated fan circulates air through the washer 

to reduce humidity. Fresh Spin also periodically tumbles 

the load after the end of the cycle but does not use an 

integrated fan. To turn on the Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin 

option, touch FRESH HOLD. If, however, the Fresh Hold/

Fresh Spin option is turned on, it will stay on for all future 

cycles until turned back off – the washer remembers the 

last on/off status set. To turn off the Fresh Hold/Fresh 

Spin option, touch FRESH HOLD.
To turn off the Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option when it is 

running, touch POWER.

NOTE:

 The door will lock while the Fresh Hold/Fresh 

Spin option is active. To cancel the option and unlock 

the door, touch POWER.

Steam 

The Steam option adds additional soak and wash time 

to many cycles to help remove tough stains as well as 

a steam boost for added cleaning power. An integrated 

heater helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures.

Extra Rinse

Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles. 

Cycle Signal

Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds the 

display will count down you will see “3,” then “2,” then 

“1.” The display will start displaying the sound levels you 

will see “1,” then “2,” then “3,” then “OFF.” When the 

CYCLE SIGNAL is released the last value shown will be 

the current selection.

Control Lock

Touch and hold for 3 seconds to lock the controls to 

avoid unwanted changes or operation. Touch and hold 

3 seconds again to unlock. For each second CONTROL 

LOCK is held down, the display will count down 1 

second; you will see “3,” then “2,” then “1.” You may still 

touch START to pause the cycle or touch POWER to turn 

off the washer.

Extra Power

The Extra Power option boosts stain fighting 

performance on any wash cycle with a dual temperature 

wash, combining cold and hot temperature during 

different phases of the wash time. To use this function 

press the knob to activate the Extra Power option. 

For single dose dispensers and an additional 1/2 the 

manufacturer’s recommended amount into the dispenser 

marked for Extra Power.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS

NOTE:

 Not all Cycle Status Lights are available on all models.

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 START is touched and held, the washer will first 

perform a self-test on the door lock mechanism and the 

sensing light will come on. You will hear a click, the drum will 

make a partial turn, and the door will click again as it unlocks 

briefly. The door will click one more time when it locks again.

Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will 

begin spinning to sense the load size. This sensing process 

will continue throughout the cycle. You may also hear water 

flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load. 

After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based on 

load size will be displayed. The actual cycle time may be 

lengthened; however, the display will continue to show the 

estimated time. 

The sensing light will blink once a second at various times 

during the cycle, such as when the washer is reducing  

extra suds.

Washing

 

During the wash cycle, this will display to let you know the 

cycle is in progress.

Add Garment

 

When “Add Garment” is lit, you may pause the washer, open 

the door, and add items. Touch and hold START to start the 

washer again.

Detergent Low

 

When detergent in the dispenser is running low, the display 

will show the detergent level (Low). 

OPTIONS

Touch to activate additional wash options or additional 

features on the washer. Not all options are available on  

all models.

Delay Start

Touch this option to delay the start of the wash cycle  

by up to 12 hours.
