LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the
Estimated Cycle Time will be displayed. Factors such as load size,
wash temperature, and water pressure may affect the time shown in
the display during the cycle. Tightly packing garments, unbalanced
loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle
time, as well.
Touch the desired setting along the right of the display to adjust.
See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle. Not all
settings are available with all cycles.
Temperature
The recommended wash temperature is preset for each cycle. You
may also select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results, follow the garment label
instructions. All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse.
Soil Level
The Soil Level setting (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
For most loads, use this preset soil level. When you change the
soil setting, the cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated
Cycle Time display.
For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, use the Soil Level setting to
select more wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, use
the Soil Level setting to select less wash time. Lower soil level
settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
Spin Speed
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the
cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed.
n Higher spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
n
Lower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
DELAY START
Use + and – to delay the start of the wash cycle by 9 to 12 hours,
depending on model. To turn off Delay Start, use + and – to set the
delay time to “0,” or touch POWER/CANCEL.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
NOTE: Not all Cycle Status Lights are available on all models.
Delay
If a Delay Start is set, the Delay indicator will light and the delay
time will count down in the display.
Door Locked
Door Locked will light to indicate that the door
is locked and cannot be opened without first
pausing or canceling the cycle.
Sensing
When START is touched and held, the washer
will first perform a self-test on the door lock
mechanism and the sensing light will come on.
You will hear a click, the drum will make a partial
turn, and the door will click again as it unlocks
briefly. The door will click one more time when it
locks again.
Once the door has locked the second time, the
washer will begin tumbling and adding water.
This sensing process will continue throughout
the cycle. You may also hear water flowing through the
dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based on load
size will be displayed. The actual cycle time may be lengthened;
however, the display will continue to show the estimated time.
The sensing light will blink once a second at various times
during the cycle, such as when the washer is reducing extra
suds.
Add a Garment
When “Add a Garment” is lit, you may pause the washer, open
the door, and add items. Touch and hold START to start the
washer again.

OPTIONS
Touch to activate additional wash options or additional features on
the washer. Not all options are available on all models.
Fresh Hold ® Option (on some models)
The Fresh Hold ® option will periodically tumble the load after
the end of the cycle for 12 hours while the integrated fan
circulates air through the washer to reduce humidity. To turn
on the Fresh Hold ® option, touch Fresh Hold. If, however, the
Fresh Hold ® option is turned on, it will stay on for all future
cycles until turned back off – the washer remembers the last
on/off status set. To turn off the Fresh Hold ® option, touch
Fresh Hold.
You may also activate the Fresh Hold
® option without running
a cycle by touching and holding POWER/CANCEL for one
second, then touching and holding Fresh Hold for 3 seconds,
then touching and holding START for 3 seconds.
To turn off the Fresh Hold
® option when it is running, touch
POWER/CANCEL.
NOTE: The door will lock while the Fresh Hold
® option is
active. To cancel the option and unlock the door, touch
POWER/CANCEL.
Fresh Spin
™ Option (on some models)
The Fresh Spin ™ option will periodically tumble the load after
the end of the cycle for up to 6 hours to reduce humidity.
To turn on the Fresh Spin ™ option, touch Fresh Spin.
If, however, the Fresh Spin ™ option is turned on, it will stay
on for all future cycles until turned back off – the washer
remembers the last on/off status set. To turn off the Fresh
Spin ™ option, touch Fresh Spin.
You may also activate the Fresh Spin ™ option without
running a cycle by touching and holding POWER/CANCEL
for one second, then touching and holding Fresh Spin for
3 seconds, then touching and holding START for 3 seconds.

active. To cancel the option and unlock the door, touch
POWER/CANCEL.
Steam for Stains
The Steam for Stains option adds additional soak and
wash time to many cycles to help remove tough stains, as well
as a steam boost for added cleaning power. An integrated
heater helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures. See the
“Cycle Guide” for cycles that allow the Steam for Stains option.
Extra Rinse
Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles.
Cycle Signal
Use this option to turn on or off the signal that sounds at end
of cycle.
To turn off the tones that sound when a setting is
touched: Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3
seconds. Repeat to turn them on.
Control Lock
Touch and hold for 3 seconds to lock the controls to avoid
unwanted changes or operation. Touch and hold 3 seconds
again to unlock. For each second CONTROL LOCK is
held down, the display will count down one second: you
will see “3,” then “2,” then “1.” You may still touch START to
pause the cycle, or touch POWER/CANCEL to turn off the
washer.
