START

Touch and hold until the light above START comes on to start a

cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it. If you

want to add a garment, you can touch START when the “Add a

Garment” LED is on.

LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the

Estimated Cycle Time will be displayed. Factors such as load size,

wash temperature, and water pressure may affect the time shown in

the display during the cycle. Tightly packing garments, unbalanced

loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle

time, as well.
Touch the desired setting along the right of the display to adjust.

See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle. Not all

settings are available with all cycles.
Temperature

The recommended wash temperature is preset for each cycle. You

may also select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric

and soils being washed. For best results, follow the garment label

instructions. All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse.
Soil Level

The Soil Level setting (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.

For most loads, use this preset soil level. When you change the

soil setting, the cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated

Cycle Time display.
For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, use the Soil Level setting to

select more wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, use

the Soil Level setting to select less wash time. Lower soil level

settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
Spin Speed

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the

cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed.

Higher spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may

increase wrinkling in your load.

Lower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave

your load more damp.

DELAY START

Use + and – to delay the start of the wash cycle by 9 to 12 hours,

depending on model. To turn off Delay Start, use + and – to set the

delay time to “0,” or touch POWER/CANCEL.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS

NOTE: Not all Cycle Status Lights are available

on all models.
Delay

If a Delay Start is set, the Delay indicator will

light and the delay time will count down in the

display.
Door Locked

Door Locked will light to indicate that the door

is locked and cannot be opened without first

pausing or canceling the cycle.
Sensing

When START is touched and held, the washer

will first perform a self-test on the door lock

mechanism and the sensing light will come on.

You will hear a click, the drum will make a partial turn, and the

door will click again as it unlocks briefly. The door will click one

more time when it locks again.
Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will

begin tumbling and adding water. This sensing process will

continue throughout the cycle. You may also hear water flowing

through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based on load

size will be displayed. The actual cycle time may be lengthened;

however, the display will continue to show the estimated time.
The sensing light will blink once a second at various times

during the cycle, such as when the washer is reducing extra

suds.

Add a Garment

When “Add a Garment” is lit, you may pause the washer, open

the door, and add items. Touch and hold START to start the

washer again.
Steaming

This will light to show that the cycle is using a steam boost for

added cleaning power.
Done

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove

the load promptly for best results.

The Done indicator is also lit

during Fresh Hold

or Fresh Spin

™

option.
