Well, I thought it odd that Whirlpool should include 4 blank slots on the cycle selector knob of this machine but thought that it just must be cheaper than trying to actually blank them out. Odd though that they include one of them in the "Normal Cycles" area. I thought I'd see what happens if I tried to select that blank slot as a cycle and low and behold, it's started right up as if I had just started a regular cycle. I then decided to throw a blanket in and see what it did!
My first thought is that this is some sort of Super Wash cycle like the higher end HE model has. (I believe there is a Kenmore agitator version of this machine which has more cycles as well.) The wash lasted for a full 20 minutes! Poor blanket, it was dirty but, not quite THAT dirty! It's currently rinsing the blanket... We'll see if it does anything differently. I'm curious to try the other 3 blank slots now! The manual does not mention these slots anywhere as though they don't exist and wouldn't do anything. Nice to know that I apparently got even more features than I payed for. :)

It's not labeled Because if you clothes are that dirty, you want to be discreet about it. | ||

I do agree with you , if one only has $400, and a limited budget, then this is a great value. I am also very happy to see that WP is continuing to manufacture top-load agitator washers. Happy New Year! Mike | ||

super cycle Maybe the empty slots are the continuation spots for the super cycle which is part of the main normal cycle. | ||
