 WASH 

 

You will hear the motor and agitator moving the load. 

During the first stage of the sensing/wash cycle, water 

will partially fill the washer and then begin to move the 

load. It is normal to have the sensing light on during this 

stage. You will hear the agitator rotate, followed by a 

several second pause. This process will repeat for several 

minutes, allowing the entire load to become saturated. 

The lower water level combined with HE detergent at this 

stage allows for concentrated cleaning. Concentrated 

cleaning delivers the detergent directly to the soils. It is 

normal for the load to be above the water line during this 

stage. At the beginning of the second stage, the washer 

will add water to the correct level based on the load size. 

You will hear the agitator move quicker during this stage 

of the wash cycle.  The motor sounds may change at 

different stages in the wash cycle.

 

RINSE 

 

You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the 

washer rinses and moves the load. For cycles that use 

a spray rinse you will hear water enter the washer as 

the tub spins, allowing the rinse water to penetrate the 

clothes.  For cycles that use the extra rinse option, 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 Added-Yes option was selected.

 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. 

 

To allow for proper load sensing and  

spinning, the lid will lock and the Lid  

Locked light will turn on. This light  

indicates that the lid is locked and  

cannot be opened. 

 

If you need to open the lid, press 

START/Pause/Unlock. 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/ 

Unlock again to resume the cycle.  

Avoid opening the lid during sensing.  

The sensing process will start over  

when the washer is restarted.

For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load being washed.  

Not all cycles and options are available on all models.
