Does anybody know what the icons on the center dial mean? I haven't been able to figure them out. I've been washing clothes in cold water for some time now, (with the temperature set at 50,) and then suddenly one day I have hot water! What did I do?

What model is it? If you Google Whirlpool and the model number you will probably find the online instruction booklet. (See

I have a manual and it doesn't say. I have looked on-line also.
ReplyDeleteI think those are supposed to be universal washing symbols. I will poke around online and see if I can find an explanation for you. There may also be an explanation in my housekeeping book.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure there is an explanation in the housekeeping book, Sharon. I remember reading something about them in there, anyway. Seems you could find a guide to those symbols somewhere online.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I'm dreadfully stupid not being able to figure these out. They're not the same as what you see on clothes. Maybe Ben could do better. I do know that the icon that looks like a tub of still water is a soak, and if you push in the button on the left that looks just like it, then the machine will stop and the timer will turn off when it reaches it. And if you turn the button on the far right to the crossed-off spin, it will not do a fast spin. But it hardly does anyway--the clothes come out wet--not dripping, but very wet. If I do the whole cycle on the left side of the dial (starting after the bottom stop), it does about four fills and empties, which seems unnecessary.
