Possible cause
Moist or wet laundry may be detected as a
larger wash load.
Thick items may be detected as a larger wash
load due to their heavy weight.
If the laundry is concentrated on one side or
is tangled, the wash load cannot be properly
detected and may be detected as smaller.
Items made of polyester or other synthetic
materials may be detected as a smaller wash
load due to their light weight.
Wash load detection can take anywhere
between 30 seconds to 2 minutes. When
you start an operation with water (about 3 L
or more) already in the drum, or when you
are using the [BLANKET], [DELICATE], or
[TUB CLEAN] program, the indicator does not
appear.
Only the 0.3 and 0.6 cup displays appear
for the detergent indicator when using the
[SPEEDY] program.
The LED goes off when you press the <START>
button.
The <AUTO SELF CLEAN> 'DRY' operation is
on standby.
When excessive foaming occurs, operations
may be prolonged for up to 15 minutes, as
an operation to reduce foaming is performed
automatically.
If the laundry is concentrated on one side,
this indicator appears to review the ongoing
operations.
The remaining time of drying operations are
being recalculated.
