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.
Precision Dispense
This will be lit when the washer is on with the dispenser
drawer closed and the cartridge in place. If the cartridge is
removed and the drawer is closed, Precision Dispense will
not light.
Detergent Level
Low
– This will light if there is enough detergent in the
Precision Dispense cartridge for only a few more
cycles.
Empty – This will light if there is no detergent in the Precision
Dispense cartridge.
Door Locked
Door Locked will light to indicate that the door is locked and
cannot be opened without first pausing or canceling the cycle.
Add Garment
When Add Garment is lit, you may pause the washer, open the
door, and add items.
Dispensing
This will light when the detergent is being dispensed.
Done
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove
the load promptly for best results.
Delay Wash
This will light when a delay time has been set.
Sensing
When START is touched, 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
begin tumbling and adding water. 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.
Steaming
This will light to show that the cycle is using steam for added
cleaning power.
Fan Dry Option
The Fan Dry indicator will light when the Fan Dry option is
active. During this time, the washer will occasionally tumble
the load while a fan circulates fresh air through the washer.
