Whirlpool WFW9550WL User Manual

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. Available options will glow amber. Current 
selections will glow green. If an option is unavailable with a selected 
cycle, the light will not illuminate.  

■

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

■

You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some options 
cannot be added to some cycles. For example, Deep Clean 
cannot be added to the Quick Wash cycle.

■

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

To begin the wash cycle later, select DELAY WASH until the desired 
delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining 
display, and then select START. The countdown to the wash cycle 
will show in the display window, and the button indicator will blink 
until the cycle begins.

IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered 
detergents in the high efficiency “HE” detergent compartment 

 

since liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during 
Delay Wash, before the wash cycle begins.

Use this option when you are not able to unload your clothes, 
soon after the wash cycle ends. This option provides periodic 
tumbling for up to 6 hours to help freshen your clothes. During 

 

this time, the “Done” indicator remains activated, the door 
remains locked, and the TumbleFresh™ indicator light will flash. 
The TumbleFresh™ option will automatically stop and the door 
lock will be released after this time expires, or if you press cancel 
at anytime to unload your laundry.

Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain 
treatment, loads with multiple types of stains, or loads you 

 

suspect as having stains, but are afraid may have been missed 

 

(no sorting or searching for stains). When Deep Clean with Steam 

 

is selected, the water temperature of the selected wash cycle is 
automatically set to warm. The water will then be slowly heated to 
the temperature selected, along with steam, to aid in stain removal. 
This option will provide optimal removal of organic stains such as 
blood and grass.

In this option, the washer will sense vibration in the wash cycle and 
may adjust the spin speed to lower sound levels generated during 
the spin.

This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the 

 

washer as soon as it stops. Press CYCLE SIGNAL to select Loud, 
Soft, or Off. To activate/deactivate button sound hold cycle signal 
button for 3 seconds.

Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Spin Speed, Soil 

 

Level, and Rinse  can be changed. You can change a modifier after 
starting a cycle anytime before the selected modifier begins. Not all 
modifiers are available with all cycles and options. Available options 
will glow amber. Current selections will glow green. If a modifier is 
unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate. 

NOTE: The panel shown below may be different from that of your 
model. 

■

To change the water temperature, select the WATER TEMP 
button until the desired setting glows green.

■

To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button 

 

until the desired setting glows green.

■

To change cycle time, select SOIL LEVEL button until the 
desired setting glows green.

■

To change the rinse, select RINSE button until the desired 
setting glows green.

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.

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

This washer has a Sanitize water temperature that is certified 

 

by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and 
certification organization. The certification verifies that the 
sanitizing cycle reduces 99.9% of bacteria typically found 

 

on clothing, bedding, and towels, and there is no carryover 

 

of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.
