CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

Cycle Status Lights

Delay
If a Delay Start is set, the Delay Start indicator
will light and the delay time will count down in
the display.
Door Locked
Door Locked will light to indicate that the door
is locked and cannot be opened without first
pausing or canceling the cycle.
Sensing
When START is touched and held, the washer
will first perform a self-test on the door lock
mechanism and the sensing light will come on.
You will hear a click, the drum will make a partial turn,
and the door will unlock briefly before locking again.
Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will begin
tumbling and adding water. This sensing process will continue
throughout the cycle. You may also hear water flowing through
the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based on load
size will be displayed. The actual cycle time may be lengthened;
however, the display will continue to show the estimated time.
The sensing light will blink once a second at various times during
the cycle, such as when the washer is reducing extra suds.
Add a Garment
When "Add a Garment" is lit, you may pause the washer,
open the door, and add items.
Steaming
This will light to show that the cycle is using a steam boost
for added cleaning power.
Done
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the
load promptly for best results. The Done indicator is also lit during
