on some models that was a step-down mark for slower agitation speeds....or also where it would no longer operate with the lid open after that point in the cycle...
I think I have a 1-18 that stops at the 5 minute mark, and will continue once the lid is closed... sometimes this has been helpful for a wash...pause for a soak with the lid left open....and then close for additional agitation, and then complete the rest of the cycle... |

That mark the dial is for dry agitation, for troubleshooting, bypasses water level switch, and lid switch. Handy is you want to fill only 1/4 of the way for a quick wash. All DD and BD wp/km machines have this, not necessarily marked on the dial, but if you advance the timer incrementally you can find it

Do other brands have this, like GE or Maytag? And what about BD machines? Thanks for the replies everyone! |
