Control Panel And Features - Whirlpool WFW8620HC Use And Care Manual

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

NOTES:
■ Not all features and cycles are on all models.
■ If your model has a touch interface, the control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your finger. To
ensure your selections are registered, touch the control panel with your fingertip, not your fingernail. When selecting a setting or
option, simply touch its name.
■ If your model has physical buttons, make sure to press the button firmly.
■ At cycle completion, your setting and option choices will be remembered for the next cycle. However, if power to the washer is
lost, the settings and options will go back to the factory defaults.

Estimated Time Remaining
The Estimated Time Remaining shows the time required for
the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size, modifiers,
options selected, and water pressure may affect the time
shown in the display. Tightly packed loads, unbalanced loads,
or excessive suds may cause the washer to lengthen the
cycle time as well.
Sensing
When START/PAUSE is touched the washer will chime,
indicating it is starting. The drum will make a partial turn.
The door will click when it locks.
Once the door has locked, the washer will begin spinning
to sense the load size. This sensing process will continue
throughout the cycle.
After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based
on load size will be displayed and water will be added.
You may hear water flowing through the dispenser,
adding detergent to the load. The actual cycle time may
be lengthened; however, the display will continue to show
the estimated time.
