Cycle Status Indicators

The Cycle Status Indicators show the progress of a cycle. At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are different from traditional washers.

Add Clothes

When Add Clothes is lit, you may pause the washer, open the door, and add 2 or 3 additional items.

Controls Locked

The CONTROLS LOCKED avoids unintended use of the washer. You can also use the controls locked feature to avoid unintended cycle or option changes during a cycle. When controls locked is lit, all buttons are disabled except for START/PAUSE, POWER/CANCEL, and CYCLE SIGNAL.

Prewash

This portion of the cycle adds tumbling time prior to the selected main cycle. The washer continues automatically from prewash into the main wash cycle.

Wash

This is the main portion of the wash cycle. You will see the washer tumble the load. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected cycle, along with your load size.

Rinse

You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses and moves the load. If used, liquid chlorine bleach is added in the first rinse. Fabric softener is added in the last rinse.

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.

Fresh Spin™

The “Done” indicator remains activated, the door remains locked, and the Fresh Spin™ status light will flash.
