What Int means

Int is not an error on a Whirlpool front-load washer from the Duet and WFW family, including models like the WFW5620HW and WFW90HEFW. It means the cycle was paused or canceled, and the washer is winding down. The drum can take 20 to 30 minutes to stop spinning and drain, and Int stays on the display during that time. Once the washer has finished, the door can be opened and the code cleared. How you clear it varies by model.

Common causes of Int

Cycle paused or canceled by pressing Pause/Cancel
Washer still spinning down and draining
Control waiting for input after the interruption

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Give the washer 20 to 30 minutes to stop spinning and drain. 2. Press Pause or Cancel twice, then press Power once; the exact method varies by model. 3. If Int stays, cut power for five minutes at the plug or breaker, then restore it. 4. Start a new cycle. If Int returns on its own, schedule service.

! Why to stop there

A code that returns with nobody pausing the cycle suggests a door, power or control reading we would need to test.
We check the door latch and power supply first, since both can interrupt a cycle.
Our price is in writing before any work, with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

IntInt questions

Does Int mean my washer is broken?

No. It means the cycle was paused or canceled and the washer is stopping safely. Wait for the drum to finish spinning and draining, then clear the display and begin again.

Why does the washer take so long to stop?

The drum may be spinning at speed with a heavy load and water still inside. It spins down, then pumps out, which can take 20 to 30 minutes. The door stays locked until that is done.

How do I clear Int?

Press Pause or Cancel twice and then Power once on most models. Some work a little differently, so check your manual. If it does not clear, a short power reset at the outlet usually does.
