Customer Questions and Answers for Timer by Whirlpool

Tony, Yes, the agitate and spin speeds are the same on all cycles. This is a "single" speed washer (A512). The "gentle" or Delicate cycle is accomplished by an intermittent agitate and soak wash cycle. The permanent press cycle has a short "cool down" cycle, depending on load size, at the end of the wash cycle, the water will partially drain, and refill with cold water, then agitate for a short period of time, then drain and rinse. The regular cycle will perform directly to the indication on the timer dial. It's a pretty good system and works rather well overall.
