Door Locked
Whenthe status light glows, the door is locked.
Sensing/Revising Estimated Time
The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure,
water temperature, detergent, and clothes load.
The washer will automatically sense the progress in the cycle and
adjust the Estimated Time Remaining display. While the washer is
sensing, the estimated time will flash and the Sensing status light
will glow. When the sensing is complete, the flashing stops, the
status light goes off, and the Estimated Time Remaining display
is updated.
The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load
is unbalanced. The SUD routine removes extra suds and assures
proper rinsing of your garments. See "Troubleshooting." During
the unbalance routine, the time displayed may pause until this
activity is complete, then resume with the remainder of the cycle.
Clean Washer Reminder
The Clean Washer Reminder light illuminates to remind you to
use the Clean Washer cycle regularly. The reminder light will
illuminate every 30 cycles. The reminder light may be reset by
either running the Clean Washer cycle, or by pressing the CLEAN
WASHER RESET button.
Cycles can be selected by turning the Cycle Control knob to the
desired cycle. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric
and soil levels. The modifier indicator lights, on the right-hand
side of the panel, will change as cycles are selected.
