CYCLE SIGNAL
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds
at end of cycle. You may select Hi, Low, or Off (no indicator
lit). A louder signal is helpful in removing items as soon as
cycle is complete.
You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Not
all options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset
to work with certain cycles.
To turn Button Sounds either Off or On:
Button Sounds can be turned off or on by holding down the
Cycle Signal button for 5 seconds. The washer will make a
single short beep/tone when complete. This function can be
completed at any time during the washer’s operation, but not
in STANDBY.
When the Button Sounds function is set to Off:
n
Invalid key selection tones (3 short beeps/tones) will still
remain active, but will sound at the “SOFT” volume level.
n All Valid key selection tones (1 short beep/tone) are disabled
including Power/Cancel and End of Cycle signal, as well as
the chime that is produced when turning the cycle knob past
NORMAL.
NOTE: The chosen setting will remain in effect through
a power loss.
LID LOCK INDICATOR
This light indicates that the lid is locked and
cannot 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 restart the cycle.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHT INDICATORS
The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each
stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are
different from traditional washers.
DELAY
This indicator will light if you use the + or – buttons
to delay the start of your cycle. To use this feature, see
“Select Cycle” in the “Starting Your Washer” section.
FILL
When the Start/Pause button is pressed, the washer will
add a small amount of water to the load, then pause for a few
seconds. The lid will then lock and the washer will continue
to fill.

WASH
You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load.
It is normal for some of the load to be above the water line.
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather
than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer,
this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils. The
motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle.
The wash time is determined by the selected Soil Level.
RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning
on briefly to move the basket while filling. Fabric softener will
be added if the Fabric Softener option was selected. Some
cycles use spray rinsing.
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.
HEATING
This light may come on during the wash portion of the cycle,
as the washer slowly spins the load while adjusting the water
temperature.
ADD A GARMENT
You may place additional clothing in the wash when the
Add a Garment indicator is lit without sacrificing wash
performance. Press START/PAUSE once. The Lid Lock light
will turn off. Open the washer lid, add garments, and close
the lid. Press START/PAUSE to restart.
CLEAN WASHER REMINDER
The Clean Washer Reminder indicator lights after 30 wash
cycles without a clean washer cycle. See the “Washer Care”
section to run the clean washer cycle, or you can press
REMINDER RESET button to manually reset clean washer
cycle counter.
