    • Calibration mode is used to recalibrate the weight detection of the washer.
    • Weight detection is used to adjust the water amount used per cycle.
    • It's a step typically performed at the very end of installation.
    • Calibration mode will rotate the tub or drum back and forth for 1-3 minutes and then end by itself.
    • However, Calibration mode will not calibrate correctly unless the washing machine is empty.
    • If there is something in the washing machine, remove it and then run Calibration mode again with the washer empty, so your washer is properly calibrated.
    • See our article on washer installation or your user manual for instructions on Calibration mode.
