If, at any time, the cycle is paused, either by opening the lid
or pushing the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid button, the Cycle Status
light will slowly blink green at the current paused stage of the
cycle. Once the cycle is resumed, the Cycle Status light will be
a solid green color.
SENSING
When the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid button is pressed,
the washer will fill and begin sensing to determine load
size and balance.
Once sensing is complete, the washer will fill to the
appropriate level for the detected load size and then
begin the wash phase of the cycle.
NOTE: Sensing and wash phases will be paused by opening
the unlocked lid. Close the lid to resume the cycle. If the lid
is left open for more than 10 minutes, the washer will cancel
the cycle and pump out the water. The lid will lock after the
wash phase to begin the initial spin-out and remain locked
for the remainder of the cycle.
WASH
The washer will fill to the correct water level based on the
load size and the Water Level selection. Certain cycles may
agitate during the fill process to boost cleaning. You will hear
the agitator rotate followed by a pause lasting several
seconds. When the wash cycle begins, you will hear the
agitator increase speed. The motor sounds may change at
different stages in the wash cycle while the washer performs
different wash actions.
RINSE
Certain cycles use a spray rinse, which adds water to the
tub while the basket spins. When a fabric softener option
is selected, 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 (short hum) to move the basket
while filling.
For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load being washed. Recommended settings for best performance are shown
in Bold. Each cycle listing also includes a performance chart rating its cleaning power, gentleness on items, and resource efficiency.
Not all cycles and options are available on all models. Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.
