Start/Pause Press Start to begin the cycle. NOTE: Unless Bulky cycle is selected, the lid must be closed for the washer to start cycle. If the lid is open, “Lid” will scroll across the display. During the load sensing portion of the cycle, the lid will lock, and “SEnSing” will scroll across the display. When load sensing is complete, the lid will unlock.
Page 11
NOTE: Cycle Status lights vary by model. If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the remaining portion of the cycle and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally.
Page 12
Settings Individual settings for water temperature (Temp), agitation (Soil), and spin (Spin) can be set from the minimum (lowest in column) to maximum (highest in column). NOTE: Longer Spin times typically reduce dryer time/energy usage (i.e.: reduces total energy when using both a washer and a dryer). Cycle Options Deep Fill Select the Deep Fill feature for loads where extra water is desired.
