What is the Normal cycle used for?
This is the everyday cycle for normally soiled cottons, linens and mixed-fabric loads.
The washer senses the load, chooses a water level or tumble pattern, washes, rinses and balances the load before the final spin.
Choose another cycle for: Very delicate fabric, bulky bedding or heavily soiled workwear needing a specialized cycle.
What this means for your load
AI sensing and selected modifiers determine the displayed estimate. Check the appliance display for its current estimate.
Why the time may change: Sensing, water temperature, load balance, soil level and optional rinses cause the displayed time to move.
Check the full LG WM5800HVA 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.
