Operating instructions.
Cycle Options - Continued

(Not all features are on all models)
Deep Fill
Select the Deep Fill feature for loads where extra water is needed.
Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add an incremental amount of water to the wash load. Holding the Deep Fill
button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible; this will increase cycle time due to the additional time it takes to fill the
washer.
To cancel the option if desired, press the Deep Fill button again.
NOTE: The Deep Fill button can also be pressed after the washer has completed filling and is in the wash phase if additional water is
desired. To stop the extra fill, press the Deep Fill button again and the water will stop.
Auto Soak
This option begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle automatically.
2nd Rinse
When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, use the 2nd Rinse option to better remove additional residues.
Extra Spin
Select to provide additional spin time, increasing energy efficiency through reducing drying times.
2nd Rinse + Extra Spin
Provides both a second rinse and an extra spin.
Deep Rinse
Set this option to provide a deep rinse or when using fabric softener. This option may change other settings (e.g. Spin may go to a higher
setting) to maximize performance.

Consumer Help Indicator

Your washer is equipped with Consumer Help Indicator (CHI). CHI is our way to communicate a simple remedy for some situations
that you can perform without the need to call for service. The chart below describes the helpful lights you may notice flashing on
the display.
Spin light blinking
Fill light (Water not
entering washer)
Lid Locked light
10
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. In some cases, the
washer may not be able to balance the load and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet
than normal at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly in the wash basket and run a Drain & Spin
cycle.
Check your house water supply. Did you forget to turn on one or both supply valves after installation or
period. The washer controls won't respond/change during this time. After the 4 minutes, you can begin your
cycle again. If you try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging the washer, the 4 minute timer will start
over again.
Lid Locked light will flash if 3 cycles have been started without opening the lid. The washer will not start
another cycle until the lid is opened. Try opening, then closing the lid and starting a new cycle. If the problem
persists, call 1 800 561 3344 for service.
