CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR
6
The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of
a cycle. At each stage of the process, you
may notice sounds or pauses that are different
from traditional washers.
SENSING
When the START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid button is pressed,
the washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock
mechanism. You will hear a click, the basket will make a
slight turn, and the lid will unlock briefly before locking
again.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer will
use short, slow spins to estimate the load size. These sensing
spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before water is added to
the load and you may hear the hum of these spins. If the
sensing light is on, then washer is working properly. You will
hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly
wet the load. The washer will then move the load briefly,
pause to allow water to soak in to the load, and resume
adding water. This process may repeat until the correct
amount of water has been added for the load. You may
also hear water flowing through the dispenser, adding
detergent to the load.
NOTE: Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted. The
sensing light may also come on during the Wash portions
of the cycle. This is normal.
WASH
You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load.
Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with
water. Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning.
Rather than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style
washer, this washer delivers the detergent directly to the
soils. The motor sounds may change at different stages in
the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected soil
level.

RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning
on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling. Fabric
softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was
selected. Some cycles use spray rinsing.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water
removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
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 load sensing and spinning,
the lid will lock and the Lid Locked 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.
