The cycle status lights show whether the washer is in the Delay, Fill, Soak (on some models), Wash, Rinse or Spin portion of the cycle. Spin LED light is flashing: If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the remaining portion of the cycle and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycleThe former is just an extra rinse cycle (without a wash cycle before it), and latter skips the rinse part and starts pumping out any remaining water while running a spin cycle to extract some water from clothes. The latter may be especially useful when dealing with bulkier items that retained a lot of excess moisture, or if a cycle had been Used to describe situations, procedures or tasks that require repetitive action. Similar to et cetera Touch Power to turn on the washer, and then turn the Cycle Selector to select a cycle. Note: On some select models, cycles are selected by pressing a button. Change the cycle settings (Temp., Rinse, Spin, and Soil) if necessary. Select your desired features (Delay Start, Pre Soak, etc.) as necessary, and then touch and hold Start/Pause (sometimes referred as Hold to Start). A 'rinse and spin' is not the same as a 'drain and spin' cycle. The main difference between these two is: a 'rinse and spin' is when you rinse any detergent off your clothes with clean water, you drain the water away, and then you spin said clothes really quickly in the drum to remove excess water from them.
Kay, if you don't want the clothes to be stretched much at all, you'll need to wash the load on a slow agitating cycle (usually 'delicate' or similar description) and use a slow spin. Both the 'spin' and 'agitate' stretch clothes in different ways to 1) get them clean and then 2) pull the water out of them. -Lauren.
