USING THE WASHER
Getting started
Start/Pause
Press Start to begin the cycle. NOTE: Unless Bulky Items cycle is selected, the lid must be closed for the washer to start cycle.
If the lid is open, “Lid” will scroll across the display. During the load sensing portion of the cycle, the lid will lock and “SEnSing” will
scroll across the display. When load sensing is complete, the lid will unlock.
Pressing Pause will unlock the lid (if locked at that time), pause the cycle and the Start indicator light will blink.
To continue the cycle, press Start again. If water remains in the machine, select the Drain & Spin cycle to drain basket and
spin water out of the washer basket. NOTE: Machine will automatically cancel and drain when water is present and the lid is
left open for 15 minutes or the unit is left in a paused state for 24 hours with the lid closed. Select cycle and press Start to
begin new cycle.
Display and Status Lights
Display: The display shows the approximate time remaining until the end of the cycle. NOTE: The cycle time is affected by
how long it takes the washer to fill. This depends on the water pressure in your home. The size of the load being washed also
significantly impacts cycle time, with larger loads taking longer.
In addition, this display will, “scroll” the washer status:
• bALAnCIN
g
Start of rebalancing cycle to redistribute clothes. Stops after rebalancing is complete.
• dELAY When Delay Wash is initiated. Replaced with estimated time when cycle starts.
• End End of current cycle.
• FILL “FILL” will scroll across display for the first 45 seconds of fill, afterwards the estimated end of cycle time is
displayed.
• H2O SUPPLY Can not sense water level (valves possibly turned off).
• LId Cycle stopped because lid is open. Close the lid.
• SEnSIng Sensing load size and type before and during fill (normal).
• PAUSE Cycle paused because the Start/Pause button was pressed and the washer was set to Pause. Press Start
button again to restart the cycle.
Cycle status lights: Shows whether the washer is in the Delay, Fill, Soak (on some models), Wash, Rinse or Spin
portion of the cycle.
If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the remaining portion of the cycle
and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the
out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load
and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly
in the wash basket and run a Drain & Spin cycle.

Your washer is equipped with Consumer Help Indicator (CHI). CHI is our way to communicate a simple remedy for some situations
that you can perform without the need to call for service. The chart below describes the helpful messages you may notice scrolling
on your display when you return to start another load. These messages will provide simple remedies you can quickly perform.

“H2O SUPPLY”
(Water not
entering washer)
Check your house water supply. Did you forget to turn on one or both supply valves after installation or
coming back from vacation? As soon as the message starts to scroll, the washer will initiate a 4 minute lock-
out period. The washer controls won’t respond/change during this time. After the 4 minutes, you can begin
your cycle again. If you try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging the washer, the 4 minute timer will
start over again.
“CAnCELEd” “CAnCELEd” may scroll on the display if the machine was paused for longer than 24 hours or if the machine
has stopped itself before the cycle completed due to certain errors. As soon as the message starts to scroll,
the washer will initiate a 4 minute lock-out period. The washer controls won’t respond/change during this time.
After the 4 minute period, you can begin your cycle again. If you try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging
the washer, the 4 minute timer will start over again. If the problem persists, call GE Appliances at 800.
