CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR
6
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/Stop/Pause/Unlock Lid button is pressed,
the washer will fill with water and begin the wash cycle.
WASH
You will hear the agitator moving the load. The motor
sounds may change at different stages in the cycle.
The wash time is determined by the selected soil level.
RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the
washer rinses and moves the load. You may hear the
motor turning on briefly (short hum) to move the basket
while filling.
FINAL SPIN/SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for
proper water removal, based on the selected cycle.
6
CYCLE COMPLETE/DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
LID LOCKED/LOCKED
To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid
will lock and the Lid Locked light will turn
on. When this light is lit, the lid is locked
and cannot be opened. When this light is
off, the lid is unlocked and can be opened.
If you need to open the lid, press
START/STOP/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID.
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/
STOP/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID again to
resume the cycle.
EXTRA RINSE (on some models)
7
This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse
to most cycles.
NOTE: To open the lid during the rinse or extra rinse phase
after the first spin, you must first press START/STOP/
PAUSE/UNLOCK LID to unlock the lid.
PRESOAK (on some models)
8
This option can be used to automatically add a presoak
time to a wash cycle. Items will gently tumble through the
detergent and water for the selected time to help loosen
tough stains.
