Lidlock
Your Smart Drive® has a lidlock, which locks when your
machine is spinning. This ensures the lid cannot be
opened during hazardous parts of the cycle, providing
added safety for you and your family.
The lidlock light (above the START/PAUSE button) comes
on when the lid is locked to tell you when you cannot
open the lid. In short it means you can open the lid
while your Smart Drive® is filling, agitating, and draining,
but not while it is spinning.
When the Lidlock light is on, the lid is locked.
When the Lidlock light is off, the lid is not locked and the lid can be opened.
If the Lidlock light is flashing the Lidlock is in process of locking or unlocking, (i.e. while the
machine coasts down or START/PAUSE has been pressed). During this stage the lid still cannot
be lifted.
The lidlock remains unlocked for the majority of the cycle allowing you to add clothes, dissolve
detergent or to add fabric softener (if you do not want to use the Automatic Fabric Softener
Dispenser).
The chart below shows the stages when the lid is locked.
Fill Unlocked
Agitate Unlocked
Spray Rinse Locked
Deep Rinse Unlocked
Spin Locked
Keep children away from the machine, especially when you are using hot water, as the lid can be
opened during fill and agitate.
If the lid is left open, the machine will be unable to lock and the cycle will be halted.
The machine will play a tune and the lidlock light will flash until the lid is closed and
START/PAUSE is pressed.
DO NOT put anything down the slot in the top deck of your machine.
DO NOT try to disable the lidlock.
