CYCLE STATUS LIGHT INDICATORS
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.
FILL
When the Start/Pause button is pressed, the washer
will first perform a self-test on the lid lock mechanism.
You will hear a click, the basket will make a slight turn,
and the lid will unlock briefly before locking again.
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, the washer
is working properly. You will hear 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 the Fill portion of
the cycle. The sensing process will start over when the
washer is restarted. The Fill light may also come on
during the Wash portion of the cycle. This is normal.

WASH
You will hear the motor and 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 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. Fabric
softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was
selected. Some cycles use spray rinsing.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove
the load promptly for best results.
ADD A GARMENT
You may place additional clothing in the wash when
the Add a Garment indicator light is glowing without
sacrificing wash performance. Press START/Pause once.
The Lid Lock light will turn off. Open the washer lid, add
garments and close the lid. Press START/Pause to restart.
