Status Indicator Lights
The Cycle Indicator Lights show what stage the washer is in. When the Selector knob is set to a new cycle, the Indicator
Lights will flash momentarily, showing what stages the cycle will go through. On models without an AUTO SOAK option,
the SOAK light will not light up.

Turning the Cycle Selector knob after starting a cycle will stop the washer and reset the cycle to the new selection.
