A Start/Pause
Press Start to begin the cycle. NOTE: The lid must be closed for the washer to start the cycle. If the lid is closed, the lid will lock and the Lid
Locked light will illuminate.
Pressing Pause will unlock the lid (if locked at that time), pause the cycle and the Pause indicator light will blink.
To continue the cycle, press Start again. If machine is paused more than 12 hours, the cycle will be cancelled. If water remains in the
machine, select the Drain & Spin cycle to drain basket and spin water out of the washer basket.
Cycle Status Lights
B
Shows whether the washer is in the Fill, Soak, Wash, Rinse or Spin portion of the cycle.
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.
