What is the Delicates cycle used for?
This gentler cycle is for washable fabrics that need reduced mechanical action.
It normally uses softer wash motion and a gentler spin profile to reduce stretching, tangling and wear.
Choose another cycle for: Heavy soil, bulky pieces and hand-wash-only garments unless their label permits machine washing.
What this means for your load
The official model documentation identifies this cycle but does not provide a dependable single duration.
Why the time may change: Load balance, selected spin speed and extra rinse can change the total time.

When will it finish?
Use the appliance display for the current estimate. Load conditions, sensing, temperature and selected options can move the finish time.
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.
Planning the Delicates cycle on the GTW335ASNWW
Delicate programs reduce mechanical action, heat or spray intensity. Load composition and moisture sensing can still make the displayed finish time move.
On the GE GTW335ASNWW, watch for load size, water temperature, suds control and balance corrections. Leave room for items to move and treat the panel estimate as the best live prediction.
The planning range on this page is 0.1–1.5 kWh; use the ZIP or bill-rate calculator for a local cost estimate. The exact-model reference is linked from products.geappliances.com, while estimates are labeled separately.

Using the delicates cycle time on GTW335ASNWW
Use Variable as the baseline for this exact GTW335ASNWW, then allow for the conditions the machine can actually sense.
Check first: A smaller compatible load helps the gentle pattern work; delicate does not mean every fragile item is machine-safe.
The duration comes from products.geappliances.com; practical planning notes are editorial context and do not replace the manual.
