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/FILL
When the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid/Cancel button
is pressed and the Water Level knob is set to Auto
Sensing, 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 HE agitator 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.
FINAL
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for
proper water removal based on the selected cycle
and spin speed.
CYCLE
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 Lock feature allows for higher spin
speeds. When 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
while the
lid is closed to resume the cycle.
