RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the

added if the "with Fabric Softener" option was selected.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin
speed.
Some cycles use spray rinsing. After draining and spinning
out wash water, the washer will continue to spin and spray
in rinse water for the entire rinse time.
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 spin operation, the lid
will lock and the Lid Lock 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.
