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.
Door Locked
Door Locked will light to indicate that the door is locked and
cannot be opened without rst pausing or canceling the cycle.
FanFresh
The FanFresh
indicator will light when the FanFresh
option
is active. During this time, the washer will occasionally tumble
the load while a fan circulates fresh air through the washer.
Delay Set
If a Delay Start is set, the Delay Set indicator will light and the
delay time will count down in the display.
Add a Garment
When Add a Garment is lit, you may pause the washer, open
the door, and add items.
Sensing
When the START/PAUSE button is pressed, the washer will
rst perform a self-test on the door lock mechanism. You will
hear a click, the drum will make a partial turn, and the door
will unlock briey before locking again.
Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will
begin tumbling and adding water. This sensing process will
continue 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.
The displayed time may change as the washer goes through
the sensing process. This is normal.
Soak
This portion of the cycle allows gentle tumbling for water and
detergent to soak into the load for optimal cleaning.
Wash
This is the main portion of the wash cycle. You will see the
washer tumble the load. The motor sounds may change at
different stages in the cycle. The wash time is determined by
the selected cycle and soil level along with your load size.
Rinse
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the
washer rinses and moves the load. If used, liquid chlorine
bleach is added in the rst rinse. Fabric Softener is added
in the last rinse.
Spin
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for
proper water removal, based on the selected cycle
and spin speed.
Steam (on some models)
This will light to show that the cycle is using a Steam boost
for added cleaning power.
Sanitized
Sanitized will light on cycles with a Sanitize setting once the
load has been washed at the proper temperature for the
necessary time to meet NSF Sanitization requirements.
Done
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
