SENSING

When the START/Pause/Unlock button is pressed, the washer
wi[[ first perform a serf-test on the lid lock mechanism. You wi[[
hear a dick, the basket wi[[ make a slight turn, and the lid wi[[
unlock briefly before locking again.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer wi[[ 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. The washer wi[[ 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 lid during sensing. The sensing process
will start over when the washer is restarted. The sensing light
may also come on during the Wash portion of the cycle. This
is normal.

Im--_Z:)-ID-Im--mB-ID
You will hear the washplate moving the load. Unlike traditional
washers, the load is not covered with water. Low-water
cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than diluting
detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this washer
delivers the detergent directly to the soils. The motor sounds
may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash time is
determined by the selected soil [eve[.
