How to Fix ADD GARMENT LIGHT ON Error (Step-by-Step)
- Notice the ‘Add Garment’ light is on, which means the washer is at a point in the cycle where it is safe to add more clothes.
- Press the ‘Start/Pause’ button one time to pause the washer.
- Wait a few moments for the washer door to unlock; you will typically hear a clicking sound.
- Open the door and add your forgotten laundry items and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Close the door firmly until you hear it latch and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Press the ‘Start/Pause’ button again to resume the wash cycle. The light will turn off and the cycle will continue.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
