Error codeInt
ApplianceWasher
Pausing or canceling a cycle on a front load Whirlpool washer is what puts Int on the display. The washer does not stop at once: it can need 20 to 30 minutes to finish spinning and draining, and Int stays lit the entire time.
Ways to make Int disappear
Tap Pause or Cancel two times in a row.
Alternatively, give the Power button a single press.
Which of the two works depends on the model, so try the other if the first does nothing.
When the display stays on
Cut power to the washer for 5 minutes, either by switching the breaker off or by pulling the plug.
