LAVADO (Wash)  

You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load. Unlike  

traditional washers, the load is not covered with water. Low-

water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than dilut-

ing detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this washer 

delivers the detergent directly to the soils. The motor sounds 

may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash time is 

determined by the selected soil level.

  ENJUAGUE (Rinse) 

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

rinses  

and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning on briefly  

(short hum) to move the basket while filling. Fabric softener 

will be added if the Suavizante (Fabric Softener) option was 

selected. Some cycles use spray rinsing.

 

EXPRIMIDO (Spin) 

The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper 

water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.  

  FIN (Done) 

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

the load promptly for best results.  

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.

When the INICIO/PAUSA/DESBLOQUEAR TAPA (Start/

Pause/Unlock) button is pressed, the washer will first  

perform a self-test on the lid lock mechanism. You will 

hear a click, the basket will make a slight turn, and the  

lid will unlock briefly before locking again. 

  Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer will  

use short, slow spins to estimate the load size. These 

sensing spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before water is 

added to the load and you may hear the hum of these 

spins. If the sensing light is on, the washer is working 

properly. You will hear the motor turn the basket in short 

pulses to thoroughly wet the load. The washer will then 

move the load briefly, pause to allow water to soak in to 

the load, and resume adding water. This process may 

repeat until the correct amount of water has been added 

for the load. You may also hear water flowing through the 

dispenser, adding detergent to the load. 

Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The sensing  

process will start over when the washer is restarted. The  

sensing light may also come on during the Lavado (Wash) 

portions of the cycle. This is normal.
