Yes, I sometimes set it so that it is just finishing when I get home from work and then I can pop the clothes into the dryer. I like it.

I have the GE washer, but I do use the time delay on it. I love it!

I love it even more in the summer.. When I wake up, the load is just getting done, and I can hang them outside right away, and start the next load.

I've used it a couple times on my Frigidaire, but I don't like the idea of my washer going when I'm not home.

Did the it start timing down? Was it counting down or powered off when you got to it in the morning. Remember to hit start. (But don't hit it twice by accident or you'll pause it.)

I use it several times a week to set a load to be ready for me to pop in the dryer while I'm showering and getting ready. That way I can have something wrinkle free to wear. Or for a load of towels/linens, they don't sit all night and get funky.

hammockman-

Try doing just what you did but press the start button after the delay button. The delay feature on the display should start blinking and counting down.

That was it,hittin the start button.Thanks folks.I appreciate it.

Just bought a new LG top loader washer but can't figure out how to use the delay wash please call LG and they was confused as well please walk me through the steps my wife do hair and we need to soak the towels for about 3 hours because of the color from doing hair.

HU-171543616,

You didn't provide the model number of the machine for anyone to check the details of the controls. Delay start doesn't itself provide a soak period. A washing machine set on delay start doesn't begin the cycle, does not fill with water until after the delay time counts down. Your machine may have a separate Soak function but that would have no relation to Delay Start.

It have a soak option as well LG cannot figure it out Model # WT7405CV please help.

Delay Wash: Set the desired cycle and options, then press the Delay Wash button repeatedly for the desired number of delay hours 1 to 19 to appear on the display, then press Start. Delay will not activate if Start isn't pressed, the machine will not run at all, it will cancel the entire cycle selection and turn off.

Soak function: Choose a cycle on the rotary knob and other desired options (temperature, spin speed, soil), then press Special Care button to select Soak for adding it to whichever cycle is chosen on the rotary knob. Delay Wash with Soak presumably is done by selecting all the settings first including Soak, then choose the Delay Wash hours and press Start.

StainCare option starts with warm water, then later adds hot water to increase the temperature for handling various kinds of stains and soils. Soak and StainCare may be selectable together by pressing the button repeatedly until both lights are on, try it to see if that's possible..

The Special Care button also selects Rinse+Spin or Speed Wash as specific cycles.

The Add Garments light is NOT part of the Special Care button choices. Add Garments turns on early in the cycle to indicate there's still enough wash time remaining to clean them if the machine is paused to add more clothes. It turns off after enough wash time has elapsed that added clothes may not get clean.

Thank you so much it worked have a wonderful day.
