We’ve included a breakdown (in alphabetical order) of all the cycles that are available throughout our washing machine lineup. Not all cycles will be available on each model. Please check your washer's control panel or user manual to see what is included with your exact model.

  • Active Wear: For washable exercise sportswear such as jerseys, training pants, shirts, tops, and other performance clothing. This cycle provides effective soil removal with gentle action for special fabric care.

  • AI OptiWash & Dry: The washer will detect the type, weight, and soil level of your clothing, and then select the appropriate cycle. Enabling the Auto Dispense function is recommended when using this cycle.

    Note: This cycle is only available on the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo model.

  • Allergen: To remove dust mites, pet dander, or other allergic substances from fabrics.

  • Bedding, Bedding Plus: For bulky items such as comforters, blankets, and sheets. Use liquid detergent, and wash only one type of bedding at a time. Do not roll the items in the drum since they might get stuck.

  • Bedding, Waterproof: For bulky items such as comforters, blankets, and sheets. Can also be used for waterproof or water-resistant items such as plastic mats, ski pants, raincoats, etc. Always use liquid detergent with this cycle.

    Note: Check the specification label on each item to see if the item is waterproof.

  • Colors: Ideal for colorful items, this cycle uses low temperatures to prevent discoloration.

  • Darks: For casual items with bright or dark colors.

  • Delicates, Hand Wash: For sheer fabrics, bras, lingerie, silk, and other hand wash-only fabrics. For the best results, use liquid detergent.

  • Downloaded: Connect your washer to SmartThings to gain access to several additional cycle options beyond what is listed on your washer's control panel. If you select and run a cycle that is not physically printed on your washer, the control panel will show that the Downloaded cycle is selected.

    Note: In the SmartThings app, you can also select which cycle the Downloaded cycle defaults to when you're not using SmartThings.

  • Eco Wash, Eco Cold: Provides useful, gentle, and energy saving daily care for normal and lightly soiled laundry using only cold water.

  • Heavy Duty: For sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily soiled garments.

  • Less Microfiber: Reduces the amount of microfibers generated when washing synthetic fabrics.

  • Normal: The default cycle. It's best for items such as cottons, bed linens, table linens, underwear, towels, or shirts. The washing time and the number of rinses are automatically adjusted according to the load.

  • Perm Press: For wash-and-wear, synthetic fabrics, and lightly to normally soiled garments.

  • Pure Cycle: This cycle is not for washing clothes; it is for the washer to self-clean. No detergent or bleach should be used. Recommended to run approximately every 40 washes.

  • Quick Wash or Small Load: For lightly soiled garments that are needed quickly. For best performance, the recommended load size is 4 pounds or lower.

  • Rinse + Spin: This cycle is used for loads that need rinsing only or to add rinse-added fabric softener to a load. You can also run this after a different cycle for extra rinsing and spinning.

  • Sanitize: For heavily soiled, colorfast garments. This cycle heats the water to 150 degrees to eliminate bacteria.

  • Spin Only: Provides a spin cycle to remove water. You can also run this after a different cycle for extra spinning.

  • Steam Normal: Appropriate for washing every day garments using steam.
