Use the Wash Cycle knob to select cycles on your washer. 

Knob does not advance during the progress of the cycle, see 

cycle status lights for each stage of the process. See “Cycle 

Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

Wash Temp senses and maintains uniform water  

temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold water. 
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric and soils 

being washed. For best results and following the garment label 

instructions, use the warmest wash water safe for your fabric.  

 

■

On some models and cycles, warm and hot water may be 

cooler than your previous washer.

 

■

Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm water may 

be added to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature.   

Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the  

cycle and unlock the lid. 

NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes to 

unlock the lid. Press and hold for 3 seconds to cancel a cycle 

and the washer will drain.

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.
 SENSING
  Once you close the lid and start a cycle, the washer will 

begin filling with the initial amount of water. This will take 

approximately 2-3 minutes and the lid will be unlocked at this 

time. Then the lid must be closed. 

  If the lid is open when the water stops entering the washer, 

the cycle will not continue until the lid has been closed 

and the START/Pause button is pressed. If the cycle has 

not been continued within 10 minutes of the water filling 

the washer, the washer will pump out the water. If the lid is 

closed, it will then lock and the sensing process begins and 

additional water will be added, if required. You will hear the 

motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly wet the 

load.

  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.  

You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer 

rinses and moves the load. For cycles that use the Extra 

Rinse option, you will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle 

as the washers rinses and moves the load.

 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 LOCK 

To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and  

the Lid Locked light will turn on. When this light is lit,  

the lid is locked and cannot be opened. When this  

light is blinking, the washer is paused. When this light  

is off, the lid can 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 resume the cycle.

  NOTE: If the START/Pause button is held for more than  

3 seconds, the cycle will cancel and the washer will drain.

Not all features and options are available on all models.  

Appearance may vary.
