Takes 2 spins, measures time to reach a certain angle.
Estimates if load is greater than 17 lbs or not.
If load is greater than 17lbs, it bypasses the "load arrange-
ment" phase and goes straight to the pre-fill portion.
Washer executes pattern to distribute the clothes previous to
agitation in order to improve wash performance.
Load spins 2 times (CCW-CW), each time injecting cold water for 8
seconds.
• During each spin portion, the motor is successively activated (for
600 ms) and deactivated (for 2 seconds), intermittently spinning the
basket for a total of approx 10 seconds.
• Once the 10 seconds are over, unit goes into a full spin (at 700
RPM) and drain pump is activated for 10 seconds.
•After this, unit slows down to 100RPM.
Water and detergent are admitted in this stage
directly into the basket.
• Water fill starts until the minimum water level is
reached.
• Water is at temp selected by consumer, regulated
by ATC thermistor.
