CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR
6
The Cycle Status Lights shows 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 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 slowly spin the dry load to estimate the load size,
and begin adding water. 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: The sensing light may also come on during
the Prewash and Wash portions of the cycle. This is
normal.
PREWASH
Use this option to add an extra agitation and soak time
to the beginning of any cycle to break up tough stains.
WASH
You will hear the impeller 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. 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.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
