    How to use soak cycle

  • User Non avatar #104095 United States9 months ago

    If you would like to manually soak your garments at any time during the wash portion of the cycle, press START/Pause and leave the lid closed. Once your desired soak time has elapsed, press START/Pause again to continue the cycle. As long as the lid remains closed, your soak time can be longer than 10 minutes. However, if the lid is opened during the soak and remains open for more than 10 minutes, the water will pump out automatically.

    How do I start the washer?

  • I purchased a new Whirlpool top loading washer - WTW 4816FW2 . I am so confused about how to use it with all the dials and etc. My previous older washer was also a Whirlpool and I love how simple and easy it was to use and operate. However, I am very unhappy with this one simply because I don't understand how to use it. Is there a detailed but simply way for me to learn exactly what to do in HOW or what steps to take in doing a basic load of laundry. It is too complicated and confusing to me. I was so happy with my old Whirlpool but regret buying another one due to it not being as easy and uncomplicated as my previous one.

    In the wash and rinse cycle, it will make a very loud grinding noise just when it turns one way(not sure if it's the left or right). It spins fine.. Can you give me some things to check.
