WASH
You will hear the motor and agitator moving the load.
During the first stage of the sensing/wash cycle, water will
partially fill the washer and then begin to move the load. It
is normal to have the sensing light on during this stage. You
will hear the agitator rotate, followed by a several second
pause. This process will repeat for several minutes, allowing
the entire load to become saturated. The lower water
level combined with HE detergent at this stage allows for
concentrated cleaning. Concentrated cleaning delivers the
detergent directly to the soils. It is normal for the load to
be above the water line during this stage. At the beginning
of the second stage, the washer will add water to the
correct level based on the load size. You will hear the
agitator move quicker during this stage of the wash cycle.
The motor sounds may change at different stages in the
wash cycle.
RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the
washer rinses and moves the load. For cycles that use a
spray rinse you will hear water enter the washer as the tub
spins, allowing the rinse water to penetrate the clothes.
For cycles that use the 2nd rinse option, you will hear
sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses and
moves the load. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric
Softener "On" option was selected.

SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin
speed.
CYCLE COMPLETE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
LID LOCKED
To allow for proper load sensing and spinning, the lid
will lock and the Lid Locked light will turn on. This light
indicates that the lid is locked and cannot be opened.
If you need to open the lid, press START/
PAUSE/Unlock Lid. The lid will unlock
once the washer movement has stopped.
This may take several minutes if the load
was spinning at high speed. Press START/
PAUSE/Unlock Lid again to resume the
cycle. Avoid opening the lid during sensing.
The sensing process will start over when the
washer is restarted.
