† Models MVWB850W*1 only:
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be selected if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added
at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
END SIGNAL
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds
at end of cycle. You may select Hi, Low, or Off (no
indicator lit). A louder signal is helpful in removing items
as soon as cycle is complete.
You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Not all
options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset to
work with certain cycles.
LID LOCK INDICATOR
This light indicates that the lid is locked
and cannot be opened. If you need to
open the lid, press 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.
Press START/PAUSE again to restart
the cycle.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHT INDICATORS
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.
FILL
When the Start/Pause button is pressed, 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 briey 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 Fill light is on, 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 briey, 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 the lid during the Fill portion of
the cycle. The sensing process will start over when the
washer is restarted. The Fill light may also come on during
the Wash portion of the cycle. This is normal.
WASH
You will hear the motor and washplate 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. You may hear the
motor turning on briey (short hum) to move the basket
while lling. 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.
ADD A GARMENT
You may place additional clothing in the wash when
the Add a Garment indicator light is glowing without
sacricing wash performance. Press START/Pause once.
The Lid Lock light will turn off. Open the washer lid, add
garments and close the lid. Press START/Pause to restart.
CLEAN WASHER REMINDER
The Clean Washer Reminder indicator lights after 45 wash
cycles without a clean washer cycle. See the “Cleaning
your washer” section to run the clean washer cycle, or
you can press REMINDER RESET button to manually
reset clean washer cycle counter.
