Lid lock
Your washer has a lid lock, which locks when your
machine is spinning. This ensures the lid cannot be
opened during hazardous parts of the cycle, providing
added safety for you and your family.
The LID LOCKED light (above the START/PAUSE button)
comes on when the lid is locked to tell you when you
cannot open the lid. In short it means you can open the
lid while your washer is filling, agitating and draining,
but not while it is spinning.
When the LID LOCKED light is on, the lid is locked.
When the LID LOCKED light is off, the lid is not locked
and the lid can be opened.
If the LID LOCKED light is flashing, the lid lock is in the
process of locking or unlocking (ie while the machine’s
bowl slows down or START/PAUSE has been pressed).
During this stage the lid still cannot be opened.
Important!
If the lid is left open, the machine will be unable to lock and the cycle will be halted.
The machine will play a tune and the LID LOCKED light will flash until the lid is closed and
START/PAUSE is pressed.
The lid lock remains unlocked for the majority of the cycle allowing you to add clothes,
dissolve detergent or to add fabric softener (if you do not want to use the Automatic Fabric
Softener Dispenser).
The chart below shows the stages when
the lid is locked.
Fill Unlocked
Agitate Unlocked
Spray Rinse Locked
Deep Rinse Unlocked
Spin Locked
Important!
Keep children away from the machine, especially when you are using hot water, as the lid can
be opened during fill and agitate.
DO NOT put anything down the lid lock slot in the top deck of your machine.
DO NOT try to disable the lid lock.
