The cycle selector switch is not operating Permanent Press and Delicates as indicated in the user manual. During cool down on PP, it does the first 45 second spin/drain, refills and then goes right into a full spin/drain for the deep rinse. It skips the second 15 second spin/drain/refill/pause and spin/drain/spray rinse.
On delicates, it agitates for one minute at the ten minute mark on the timer (unlike the two minute agitation as indicated in the manual), then soaks until the three minute mark where it agitates for one more minute. Then it soaks again until the spin/drain before the deep rinse.
Is the switch malfunctioning or is this due to changes during a later production run? The regular cycle works as it should, as does the "soak only" and "timed soak" cycles, which makes me think there's nothing wrong with the timer.
Thanks for your considered responses! You all are a great help!
