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 a
high speed. Touch and hold the START/PAUSE button 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
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 the 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 into 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. has been added for the load. You may also hear
water flowing 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 AND 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 reflecting the detected load size.
NOTE: These lights only function when Deep Fill mode
is OFF.
