Fresh Spin

 Option

 

The Fresh Spin

 option will periodically tumble the load after 

the end of the cycle for up to 6 hours to reduce humidity.  

To turn on the Fresh Spin

 option, touch Fresh Spin.  

If, however, the 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 

Spin

 option, touch Fresh Spin.

You may also activate the Fresh Spin

 option without running 

a cycle by touching and holding POWER/CANCEL for one 

second, then touching and holding Fresh Spin for 3 seconds, 

then touching and holding START for 3 seconds. 
To turn off the Fresh Spin

 option when it is running, touch 

POWER/CANCEL.

NOTE:

 The door will lock while the Fresh Spin

 option is 

active. To cancel the option and unlock the door, touch 

POWER/CANCEL.

Cycle Signal

Use this option to turn on or off the signal that sounds at end 

of cycle.

To turn off the tones that sound when a setting is touched:

 

Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds.  

Repeat to turn them on.

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. You can still touch START to pause the cycle,  

or touch POWER/CANCEL to turn the washer off.

Cycle Status Lights

Delay
 

If a Delay Start is set, the Delay indicator will light 

and the delay time will count down in the display. 

Door Locked
 

Door Locked will light to indicate that the door  

is locked and cannot be opened without first  

pausing or canceling the cycle. 

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 unlock briefly before locking again. 

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

to calibrate the sensors; then it will begin tumbling and adding 

water. The 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.

Add a Garment
 

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

open the door, and add items. 

Steaming

  This will light to show that the cycle is using a steam boost  

for added cleaning power.  

Done

  Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the 

load promptly for best results. 

 

The Done indicator is also lit during 

Fresh Spin

 option.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked 

“HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive 

sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely 

result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may 

also result in component failure and, over time, buildup of mold or 

mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to 

produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They 

hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes. 

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of 

detergent to use. 

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
