Estimated time remaining
The cycle time varies automatically based on your water pressure, water temperature,
detergent and clothes load. The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load
is unbalanced. The SUDs routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing of your
garments. During the unbalance routine, the time displayed may pause until this activity is
complete, then resume with the cycle. These routines may add up to a half-hour to the default
cycle time.
