Estimated Time Remaining
The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure,
water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The cycle time
will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is unbalanced.
The SUDs routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing
of your garments. During the unbalance routine the time displayed
may pause until this activity is complete, then resume with the
remainder of the cycle. The options you select will also affect the
cycle times that are shown in the Preset Cycle Settings table. The
Estimated Time Remaining can change up to 30 minutes under
extreme conditions. If a small load of clothing is run, the the
Estimated Time Remaining display will indicate 3 or more minutes,
but the cycle will finish immediately. If a large load of clothing is
run, the Estimated Time Remaining display may indicate 1 minute,
but the cycle will take approximately 5 minutes to finish.
Door Locked
When the status light illuminates, the door is locked. The door is
locked and unlocked automatically, depending on the stage of the
wash cycle.
Wash Cycles
Choose Wash Cycles by rotating the Cycle selector knob to the
desired cycle. The indicator light for the cycle selected will
illuminate. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric and
soil levels.
