Sensing/Revising Est. Time

The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load.

The washer will automatically sense the progress in the cycle and adjust the Estimated Time Remaining display. While the washer is sensing, the estimated time will flash and the Sensing/Revising Est. Time status light will glow. When the sensing is complete, the flashing stops, the status light goes off and the Estimated Time Remaining display is updated.

The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is unbalanced. The SUD routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing of your garments. See “Troubleshooting.” During the unbalance routine the time displayed may pause until this activity is complete, then resume with the remainder of the cycle.
