Question posted by tadams on July 4th, 2011

New Whirlpool Wtw4800x Takes 2-4 Minutes To Begin Filling. Is This Normal?

I like to add the detergent, then wait until a certain amount of water is added, then open the lid & swish the water around to dissolve the detergent, before adding my clothes. But this process has now increased 10 fold. It appears that the washer goes through several "trial start up periods" before water is added. Is this normal? Can this period be shortened?
