    The panel as a whole All the controls live on one raised console that runs across the top back edge of the washer, behind the lid. Picture it in three zones: a big knob on the left, a display with buttons in the center, and the power/start buttons on the far right. Zone 1 — Far left: the knob The Cycle Selector is one big round dial occupying the whole left end of the panel. The 10 cycles are printed around it, and each one is its own stop as you turn. Here is the exact order from Samsung's diagram, using a clock face: NORMAL sits at the top, about 11 o'clock — treat this as home base. Down the left side of the knob, top to bottom: HEAVY DUTY, DEEP WASH, BEDDING/WATERPROOF, then SELF CLEAN at the bottom, about 7 o'clock. Down the right side of the knob, top to bottom: QUICK WASH at about 1 o'clock, DELICATES, RINSE+SPIN, SPIN ONLY, then DOWNLOADED at the bottom, about 5 o'clock. So counting clicks from NORMAL: turn clockwise — 1 = Quick Wash, 2 = Delicates, 3 = Rinse+Spin, 4 = Spin Only, 5 = Downloaded, 6 = Self Clean, 7 = Bedding/Waterproof, 8 = Deep Wash, 9 = Heavy Duty, 10 = back to Normal. Turn counterclockwise from Normal and the first click is Heavy Duty, second Deep Wash, third Bedding/Waterproof, fourth Self Clean. Zone 2 — Center: display on top, three buttons in a row below At the top-center, right of the knob, is the display window — the only purely visual part. Under it are three columns of indicator lights: temperature options (Hot, Warm, Eco Warm, Cool, Cold), water levels (Extra High, High, Mid, Low, Auto Level), and soil levels (Heavy, Normal, Light). Directly underneath those columns is a row of three rectangular buttons, left to right: Temp., Water Level, Soil — each button sits right below the column of settings it controls, which makes the logic easy to remember. Each press steps to the next setting in its column. Good defaults to know: Water Level's Auto Level and Soil's Normal mean you usually never touch this row. Zone 3 — Right-center: a vertical strip of four touch spots To the right of the three buttons is a narrow column with four touch areas stacked top to bottom, each separated by a printed line: Delay End on top, then Pre Soak, then Extra Rinse, and Smart Control at the bottom. Zone 4 — Far right edge: the two big buttons At the extreme right of the panel are the two largest targets, stacked vertically: POWER in the top-right corner, and directly below it the tall START/PAUSE button running down the right edge. These are the easiest things on the whole panel to find by touch — go to the right edge and you're there. Start is press-and-hold. One setting to leave alone: the panel sounds can be muted by holding Extra Rinse for 3 seconds. Keep them on — the beeps are your confirmation that a press registered and that the knob moved. Doing everything in the SmartThings app instead Yes — once the washer is connected, the app covers essentially the whole machine. The flow is: load the washer, close the lid, and tap Smart Control (bottom of that right-center strip). The lid locks and the washer waits for your phone. From the app, with VoiceOver, you can then: Pick any cycle by name — including extra cycles you download in the app, like Perm Press, which is what the knob's DOWNLOADED position is for Set Temp., Water Level, and Soil, and switch on Pre Soak, Extra Rinse, and Delay End Start, pause, and stop the load Read the current stage (wash, rinse, spin) and time remaining — everything the visual display would have told you Get an end-of-cycle notification on your phone, plus error alerts in readable text instead of a flashing code Run Smart Care self-diagnosis from the app when something's wrong The only things the app can't do are physical: putting clothes and detergent in, and that one tap of Smart Control on the machine to arm it for remote start — that's a safety requirement, not a limitation of the app. Everything else, the entire wash, runs from your phone.
