Whirlpool Washer W10235934A User Manual

As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not 
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is 
locked or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or spinning 
process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be 
momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing 
during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses 
are part of normal washer operation. See “Troubleshooting.”

You can customize your wash by adding options to your cycle 
selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle 
anytime before the selected option begins. Not all Options are 
available with all cycles. 

■

See the “Laundry Guide” section for an overview of possible 
options for each Wash Cycle selection.

■

If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that 
option will illuminate when selected.

■

If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be a 
short tone and the light for that option will not illuminate when 
selected.

Use this to begin the wash cycle later.

■

Select DELAY WASH until the desired time (in hours) shows in 
the Estimated Time Remaining display.

■

Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in 
the display window.

An extra rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or 
bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional 
rinse with the same water temperature as in the normal rinse. It is 
a preset setting for the Whitest Whites cycle. You may select or 
deselect by pressing EXTRA RINSE.

Use this option for loads of heavily soiled garments that need 
pretreatment.

■

Add detergent to the Main Wash Compartment of the 
dispenser drawer. 

This option adds tumbling time prior to the selected main cycle. 
The washer continues automatically from prewash into the main 
wash cycle.

Each cycle has a preset water temperature setting. To change the 
water temperature, select the WASH TEMP button until the 
desired setting is illuminated.
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are 
washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow 
garment label instructions.
The water temperature for all rinse cycles is cold. Cold rinses save 
energy.

In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents 
do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.

ATC (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses and maintains a 
uniform water temperature. ATC regulates incoming hot and cold 
water. The ATC is automatically turned ON when a cycle is 
selected. See Preset Cycle Settings table in “Cycles.”

■

ATC works for the wash temperature with Warm and Cold 
settings.

■

The Cold rinse temperatures depend on the cold water at your 
faucet.

Each cycle has a preset SPIN SPEED. To change the spin speed, 
select the SPIN SPEED button until the desired setting is 
illuminated.

This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the 
washer as soon as it stops. Select ON or OFF.
