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.

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.

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.

Keep children away from the machine, especially when you are using hot water, as the lid can be opened during fill and agitate.

DO NOT put anything down the slot in the top deck of your machine.

DO NOT try to disable the lidlock.
