2-3. WATER LEVEL CONTROL

This model incorporates a pressure sensor which can sense the water level in the tub. The water supply is stopped when the water level reaches the preset level, the washing program then proceeds.

Spinning does not proceed until the water in the tub drains to a certain level.

2-4. DOOR CONTROL

The door can be opened by pulling the door handle whenever washer is not in operation. When the cycle is completed, the DOOR LOCKED light will turn off.

If a power failure has occurred while in operation, the door will unlock after 5 minutes. Clicking sounds can be heard when the door is locked/unlocked.
