Washer time-down problem

After two minutes of washing, my time-down counter suddenly drops off by about 15 minutes (for example, the washer starts at 115 minutes, goes down to 113 minutes and then drops to 55 minutes). If I open and close the door, the timer re-sets to the correct time (in the above example, the timer would re-set to 112 minutes). What is wrong with the machine and how do I fix it? THANKS!

Check to see if your machine is connected to cold water, it should be. The problem could be the electronic thinks the machine is always connected to cold water at about 20 degree c. if connected to hot, the time drop if the it would take to heat the water to the incomming temperture Good luck

Whirlpool washer Wtw4816w2 will not reset. Tried numerous times as explained in add details.

If you haven't power reset then;
Disconnect the Cabrio from power, unplug or flip breaker off.
Wait 5 minutes before restoring power.

If it still won't respond, then likely a control board/power and/or interconnect issue.

The digital timer skips 9 minutes out of the wash cycle. After starting the normal 140 degree wash cycle (46 minutes) the washer will start and wash normally until it has counted down to 41, then it...

hi shotgun - sometimes the mieles with auto adjustment functions do make changes to the wash time - usually based on a smart sensor technology.

Unfortunately I have no data or information for your particular model, I have info on earlier & the latest models only. In hindsight what this function does is adjust water levels based on the load weight or amount of the wash, the computer then calibrates the water levels and accordingly the amount of time to wash.

Eg - 4 kg load would be longer than say a load 1.5kg to process - if can understand this concept. However I cannot be 100% certain it applies to your particular model, if the user manual is availbel it may just pay to read thru in case it applies to the washer.

Excell VR2522 Pressure washer - sudden loss in pressure.

Leaving the engine running for more than two minutes without releasing pressure trigger causes aluminum pump to overheat and causing damage to the purmp, resulting in sudden low pressure. (see page 9 in manual)

Incorrect times on wash cycles

you dont need to reset the times, all that has changed is the soil type. in example, light, regular or heavy. that is what causes the times to change.
you just need to push the options button until it shows the type of cycle you want.
also make sure you have the proper cycle selected and then look to see what other options are selected. you just have too many options turned on, so look at the controls to see what is different then you remember.
