mechanism. You willhear a click, the spio
basket will make a slight turn_ and the lid Cyol_ Complete
will unlock briefly before locking again. LidLocked
Once the lid has locked the second time,
the washer will use short, slow spins to estimate the load
size. These sensing spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before
water is added to the load and you may hear the hum
of these spins, if the sensing light is on, then washer is
working properly. You wJJJhear the motor turn the basket
in short pulses to thoroughly wet the load. The washer will
then move the load briefly, pause to allow water to soak
in to the load, and resume adding water. This process may
repeat until the correct amount of water has been added
for the load. You may also hear water flowing through the
dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
NOTE: Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted. The
sensing light may also come on during the Wash portions
of the cycle. This is normal.
