The Cycle Status Lights shows the progress of a cycle.
At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds
or pauses that are different from traditional washers.

When the START/Pause/Unlock
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. [f 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 sensing. The
sensing process will start over when the washer
is restarted. The sensing light may also come
on during the Prewash and Wash portions of the
cycle. This is normal.

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

water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
Use this option to add an extra agitation and soak
time to the beginning of any cycle to break up tough
stains.
