Sanitized This washer has a Sanitize water temperature that is certified by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and certification organization. The certification verifies that the sanitizing cycle reduces 99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, and towels, and there is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete. Controls Lock/Unlock The Controls Lock avoids unintended use of the washer. You can also use the control lock feature to avoid unintended cycle or option changes during a cycle.

Sensing/Revising Estimated Time The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The washer will automatically sense the progress in the cycle and adjust the Estimated Time Remaining display. While the washer is sensing, the estimated time will flash and the Sensing status light will glow. When the sensing is complete, the flashing stops, the status light goes off, and the Estimated Time Remaining display is updated. The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is unbalanced. The SUD routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing of your garments. See "Troubleshooting." During the unbalance routine, the time displayed may pause until this activity is complete, then resume with the remainder of the cycle.
