CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
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.
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, touch START/PAUSE.
The lid will unlock once the washer movement has
stopped. This may take several minutes if the load was
spinning at high speed. Touch and hold START/PAUSE
again for up to 3 seconds to restart the cycle.
Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The sensing process
will start over when the washer is restarted.
SENSING
When the Start/Pause button is touched, the washer will
rst 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 briey 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 briey, 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 owing through the
dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
NOTE: Avoid opening lid during sensing. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted. The
sensing light may also come on during the Wash portion
of the cycle. This is normal.
WASH
You will hear the motor and agitator moving the load.
Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with
water. 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.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for
proper water removal, based on the selected cycle and
spin speed.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
DEEP FILL & AUTO SENSING WATER LEVEL
STATUS LIGHTS
DEEP FILL
The Deep Fill mode is OFF by default but can be turned
on for any cycle except Sanitize with Oxi & Steam or
Sanitize with Oxi (depending on model), Drain & Spin,
and Clean Washer with affresh
®
.
When selecting Deep Fill, the Deep Fill light will turn on
and the Auto Sensing Water Level Status Lights will turn
off.
In Deep Fill mode, the washer will fill to a predetermined
water level deeper than auto sensing based on initial load
size sensed, allowing for greater flexibility in how you
wash your clothes.
NOTE: Expect longer cycle times due to extended fill
times when using the Deep Water Wash option.
AUTO SENSING WATER LEVEL STATUS LIGHTS
When the machine is operating in Low Water Wash
mode (Deep Fill is OFF), these status lights provide
feedback on the load size that has been detected.
When powering up the unit in Low Water Wash mode,
all three lights will be lit. The lights will remain lit until
the Sensing portion of the cycle is complete. The
machine will now illuminate the light reecting the
detected load size.
NOTE: These lights only function when Deep Fill mode
is OFF.
