 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. 
 
LID LOCKED
 
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.
