ter Test mode.

 

In 

Spin mode, 

you can test the motor at a high rpm.   

 

Service Mode:  

This mode allows more detailed operation tests and trouble-

Note: Stay with the washer during this test, out of 

balance detection is bypassed and the door may not lock. 

Press the Start/Pause button during the test to hold spin speed 

for 10 minutes before going back to Quick Spin Test Mode.
