Cycle Status Lights 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. Precision Dispense This will be lit when the washer is on with the dispenser drawer closed and the cartridge in place. If the cartridge is removed and the drawer is closed, Precision Dispense will not light. Detergent Level Low - This will light if there is enough detergent in the Precision Dispense cartridge for only a few more cycles. Empty - This will light if there is no detergent in the Precision Dispense cartridge. Door Locked Door Locked will light to indicate that the door is locked and cannot be opened without first pausing or canceling the cycle. Add Garment When Add Garment is lit, you may pause the washer, open the door, and add items. Dispensing This will light when the detergent is being dispensed. Done Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the load promptly for best results. Delay Wash This will light when a delay time has been set. Sensing When START is touched, 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 unlock briefly before locking 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. Steaming This will light to show that the cycle is using steam for added cleaning power. Fan Dry Option The Fan Dry indicator will light when the Fan Dry option is active. During this time, the washer will occasionally tumble the load while a fan circulates fresh air through the washer. 6

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.
Precision Dispense
This will be lit when the washer is on with the dispenser
drawer closed and the cartridge in place. If the cartridge is
removed and the drawer is closed, Precision Dispense will
not light.
Detergent Level
Low
– This will light if there is enough detergent in the
Precision Dispense cartridge for only a few more
cycles.
Empty
– This will light if there is no detergent in the Precision
Dispense cartridge.
Door Locked
Door Locked will light to indicate that the door is locked and

Done
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove
the load promptly for best results.
Delay Wash

Sensing
When START is touched, 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 unlock briefly before locking 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.
Steaming
This will light to show that the cycle is using steam for added
cleaning power.
Fan Dry
Option
The Fan Dry indicator will light when the Fan Dry option is
active. During this time, the washer will occasionally tumble
the load while a fan circulates fresh air through the washer.
