What modifiers were selected?

Once you select a cycle, the default modifiers will be selected.  Touch the cycle settings buttons to change the Soil Level, Spin Speed, and Temperature if desired. Not all settings are available with all cycles. If a setting is skipped, it is not available for that cycle.

If your model has the option to choose a water level, you can choose to have a deep water wash or auto-sensing. If you would like the machine to automatically sense the appropriate water level for the load size and type, turn the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting. If you would like to add the maximum amount of water to your wash cycle, turn the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash setting.

NOTE: Expect longer cycle times due to extended fill times when using the Deep Water Wash option.

Were you using the Bulky Cycle?

The Bulky Cycle (on some models) uses a series of fills while agitating.  There may appear to be insufficient water to wash a bulky load, but the washer will continue to add water while its sensors monitor the load. It could take up to 10-12 minutes to completely fill.

This process also increases the cleaning performance. The benefit of agitating while filling results in improved mechanical action for various loads. The Bulky Cycle is recommended for many different types of items (jackets, rugs, comforters, etc.), all of which have different optimal water levels for load motion, depending on load size. Executing agitation during fill improves the washer's ability to reach the optimal wash water level. During the Bulky Cycle, the fill will occasionally pause in order for the washer to provide additional mechanical action at a variety of water levels.
