What is the Heavy Duty cycle used for?
This stronger cycle is intended for durable, heavily soiled fabrics.
It generally uses longer or more forceful wash action and may provide more time for detergent to loosen soil.
Choose another cycle for: Delicate fabrics or lightly worn clothing that does not need intensive action.
What this means for your load
For durable, heavily soiled items. Check the appliance display for its current estimate.
Why the time may change: Load size, soil setting, temperature, presoak and extra rinse can extend the estimate.
Check the full LG WT7155CW 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.
