Choose another cycle for: Mixing towels with lightweight garments that can tangle or dry differently.
What this means for your load

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.
Planning the Towels cycle on the PFW950SPTDS
Towels is a model-specific washer program, so its controls and options should be checked against the exact appliance documentation.
On the GE PFW950SPTDS, 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.
