What to Check First

  1. Do not turn the dial or press any other cycle buttons immediately after turning on the washer.
  2. If a cycle is already selected, pressing the [Spin] button will only sound a beep and the washer will not start. If this happens, turn the washer off and back on, then start over.
  3. 1. Press the [Power] button to turn on the washer. Do not touch the dial at this point.
  4. 2. Press the [Spin] button on the right side of the control panel once. Press it repeatedly to select your desired spin speed (High, Medium, or Low).
  5. 3. Press the [Start/Pause] button to start the [Spin Only] cycle.
  6. 2. Press and hold the button marked with an asterisk (*), such as [Extra Rinse] or [Rinse+Spin], at the same time for at least 3 seconds.
  7. 3. Check that the wash and rinse times disappear from the display and only the spin time (e.g., 14 minutes) is shown.
  8. 4. Press the [Start/Pause] button to start the [Spin Only] cycle.
  9. 1. Press the [Power] button to turn on the washer.
  10. 2. Turn the dial to [Spin Only].
