What is the Bulky cycle used for?
This cycle is designed for large items that absorb water unevenly and need a different fill and motion pattern.
The washer uses settings intended to wet bulky material and may pause or redistribute the load before spinning.
Choose another cycle for: Several bulky pieces packed together or items that exceed the washer's capacity.
What this means for your load
For large machine-washable items. Check the appliance display for its current estimate.
Why the time may change: Water absorption and repeated balance attempts can make this cycle vary substantially.
Check the full Frigidaire FFTW4120SW cycle table to compare other programs before starting.
When will it finish?
This variable program depends on the stored cycle, options or sensed load. Use the appliance's current displayed estimate.
Estimated energy and local cost
This range is calculated from the documented cycle characteristics and appliance type. It is deliberately shown as a range because load conditions, temperature selections, sensors and options change consumption.
