Extra dry is the least energy efficient option due to the amount of energy it will use to dry your load.
But it is ideal for drying clothes quickly. Normal dry is the standard drying option that your machine will dry to if you have not edited the level in anyway.
The final option, gentle dry, is the most energy efficient option to choose from. This mode should be used on loads that are mostly dry, after the spin cycle has finished. This setting is ideal for delicate garments that do not require an intense dry.
The lock function should be activated after the wash programme has been selected. Each model will have certain buttons that it requires you to push together to activate the key lock and to deactivate it.

Spin Cycles As a rule, the higher the specification of washing machine you go for, the more spin speeds that are available for you to choose from. Ideally, you need to select the highest spin speed that is suitable for the type of wash load that you are cleaning. The Gentle program aims to limit the wear and tear on your clothes, plus helps to prevent shrinking and breakdown of material. It can, however, decrease the level of clean in some instances.
The cycle is designed to be less abrasive, using less agitation, which you can use for:. The fast cycle is designed for a small amount of lightly to normal soiled garments needed quickly. Typically, this program allows a load of just 1. The fast cycle is different to a speed mode available on some washing machines, which allows you to alter other programs to make them quicker.
How it cleans: This program has a faster spin speed, which means it will dry quicker and generally can complete the full cycle in less than 30 minutes. You can use this cycle for:. The regular wash is an all-rounder, designed for soiled, dirty, sweaty and typical loads. Whether the problem is a heavy amount of sweat, heavy staining, or heavy dirt, these loads require longer wash cycles and a significant amount of agitation.
How it cleans: It creates the longest cycle with the most agitation. Both the washing cycle and the spin cycle are fast. Use it for:. The outdoor wash cycle is for clothing designed with different types of material, like breathability and windproof or waterproof. Some washing machines have this specific cycle to minimise damage of those materials. How it cleans: The cycle generally features special drum movements and low temperatures as taped seams are particularly at risk if the water temperature is too high.
Permanent press is a milder version of the Cotton cycle, often with a lower temperature. Front-loaders at the laundromat where I used to do blankets , always seem to have agitation during their wash cycles.
Dorice, it really depends on the wash cycle. The very nature of the cycle is to NOT produce agitation. The agitation of the machine is one of the three factors that determine how clean the clothes become. The not-much-water is completely normal. A typical front loader only uses gallons per wash. My front loader does not have a permanent press cycle. What cycle should I use that would be compatible with a permanent press cycle.
Is it safe to use to get the yellow out of a wedding dress? From what I read on the instructions, it injects the steam using very hot water. Is the steam setting safe to use on delicate fabrics or just ones such as towels, jeans, bedspreads, etc? Debbie, I would only use the steam setting on sturdy fabrics — cotton, denim, etc.
The high temps could cause the tulle to possibly melt. Each setting has a few options ie heavy, slow etc. Which setthing would I use? Please help!!! The cold water temp is probably typically slower to fill the machine.
I have a new washing machine. I understand there have been many changes since I purchased my previous machine 11 years ago. My concern is the length of time the wash cycle is taking from fill to finished. Can you give me some average times washing a Normal load on warm water with low soil level? Please advise. You have to have a minute wash cycle for the clothes to receive enough agitation to remove dirt and oils.
We have a Whirlpool Cabrio platinum. It has all the sbells and whistle cycels. My wife likes to put a bottom, a top and pillowcases from a king size bed in it on quick cycle, a 25 minute run. My issue is, it makes the tub rub against the side, or it at least sounds like it is, because it gets so heavy and out of balance while agitating. My thought is to not put all that in OR use a different cycle, a longer cycle or maybe more water. I have the exact washing machine in the picture.
Do I then select Ultra Clean 10 minutes? Then on my business clothing, I would use Delicate and the 6 minute Permanet Press cycle? I notice it uses little water.
What setting should be appropriate for soaking clothes and washing it to the maximum affect? I just purchased a top loader Whirlpool HE. A similar GE washer has both delicate and handwash but I like the look of the Whirlpool. Thank you. Please can you help me get the manual because I found it difficult to use it.
Regards Victor. I have a GE top-loading washer with 3 cycles: whites, colors, and permanent press. Is there a way to use this machine for delicates? Hi, I just purchased my washing meachine and there is no delicate and bedding option in my meachine. Which machine did you purchase? Better yet, if you find the machine online, leave me a link so I can take a peek. Hi, My landlord just replaced the washing machine in the house we are renting with toploading Ge washer G I am really worried.
I have always washed my bras, most of my blouses and thin tshirts, sheer dresses on delicate cycle. Others say Cold wash, delicate cycle. Would putting them in a mesh bag to limit how much they are thrown around so much help? I didnt even know they made machines with no gentle cycle! What is causing this?
However, you need to see if you can adjust your spin cycle. Your clothes WILL be more wet as you remove them from the machine, but it will take better care of the fabrics to run the spin cycle on a slower speed. What is going on?
Other cycles spin just fine. Can you help me understand the problem? Have you cleaned the drain to the washer recently? My husband just cleaned ours a few weeks ago and OH MY the things that were in there! Legos, lint, baby socks, etc. Does your washer have that option? Hi Lauren? PP cycles. It has been most helpful! In addition to the great guidance, I have found the other comments and your replies enlightening and delightful.
Thank you for being a light in my life today. Bless you for what you do? I am shopping for a new front load washer.
I previously had a whirlpool duet that I had to leave with our house that was sold.
