Whirlpool Top Loading Washer Use and Care Guide warranty Cycle Guide, Spin, Done, LID Locked

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.

CYCLE GUIDE

For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load being washed. Not all cycles and options are available on all models.

LID LOCKED

To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the Lid Locked light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened.

When this light is blinking, the washer is paused. When this light is off, the lid can be opened.

If you need to open the lid, press START/Pause. 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 again to resume the cycle.
