Whirlpool CABRIO W10280475C Manual De Usuario

This portion of the cycle allows water to soak into the load for 

optimal cleaning.  

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 

diluting 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.

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 Fabric Softener option was selected. Some 

cycles use spray rinsing. 

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 Lock 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.

Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds 

at end of cycle. You may select Loud, Soft, or Off (no 

indicator lit). A louder signal is helpful in removing items 

as soon as cycle is complete. 
To turn button sounds on or off:

Press and hold Cycle Signal for 3 seconds to turn the  

button sounds off or on. 

The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time 

required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size 

and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display. 

Overloading, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may 

cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well. 

The Cycle Status Lights shows the progress of a cycle. At 

each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses 

that are different from traditional washers.

SENSING
When the 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. 
NOTE: Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The  

sensing process will start over when the washer is  

restarted.he sensing light may also come on during  

the Soak and Wash portions of the cycle. This is normal.
