- A wash timer is a device that automatically sets the duration in which clothes are cleaned in the washing machine.
- The clothes are first inserted into the wash tub before going into the spin tub for cleaning and rinsing.
- The wash timer is set by turning the clearly labeled knob at the top of the washing machine.
- Turning this knob sets the washing machine in motion, rotating as it cleans your clothes using the water and detergent mixture inside the wash tub.
- The timer is set according to how heavy your washing is which can be the degree of dirt on your clothes.
- It is mainly done by estimation. For example for shirts, setting the timer to 3-6 minutes is ideal.
- If your clothes are soiled you might consider a 12-minute wash.
