next cycle stage. Cycle stages are located at key
locations in the machine operation. As the program is
advanced it will index as follows: The end of each fill (the
same as the beginning of a tumble session for Wash, or
Rinse); at the beginning of a drain session; at the
beginning of a spin session (at this position, check the
water level, if over reset level, drain first before entering
the spin function); at the beginning of a fill session; at the
beginning of Bleach fill; at the beginning of Fabric
Softener fill; and every 3 minutes during the tumble
sessions (Wash and Rinses).
