How do I get my disherwasher off the delicate wash cycle

Yes you will need to cancel any cycle to change to another.

From my experience, the lower wash cycles are set to only do certain things. For example: the Delicate won't do a high speed spin, even though a high speed spin wouldn't really be destructive to delicates, but would force more water out of them! I usually just run a "Drain/Spin" after the Delicate cycle.

i SUSPECT UR WATER PRESSURE LEVEL SWITCH

Hello - I am happy to assist you. First, I will need your model (and serial number if you have it) to better address the issue at hand. Thank you.

Timer needs cleaning on the delicate relays (points) in the delicate position. Maybe timer failure. Transmission stuck, jammed or failing in that wash mode

Hi,

Some SHX46 washers have 4 wash cycle buttons and others have 5. The button on the left side on top of the door is the start/stop button regardless of how many wash cycle buttons you have.

If you have 5 cycle buttons, reading from left to right they will be as follows.

1. Top Rack Only / Sanitize
2. Power Scrub Plus - (Long wash for heavy soil)
3. Regular Wash - (Economy wash for light to medium soil)
4. Delicate Wash - (Shorter wash at a lower temperature for delicate items)
5. Rinse & Hold.

These buttons are also used for cancelling a wash cycle. Hold down buttons 2 and 4 (Power Scrub Plus and Delicate) at the same time to cancel a wash cycle and drain the water out.

If your washer does have 4 buttons, it means you don't have a Top Rack / Sanitize cycle, in which case the button configuration - from left to right - will be:

1. Power Scrub Plus - (Long wash for heavy soil)
2. Regular Wash - (Economy wash for light to medium soil)
3. Delicate Wash - (Shorter wash at a lower temperature for delicate items)
4. Rinse & Hold.

With this button configuration, the cancel cycle buttons are 1 and 3.

I hope this solves your problem. If you need any additional information, please post back.

Your dishwasher is probably draining during the wash cycle. This is usually the result of a worn out diverter valve.

Mine did the same thing; cycled through without any actual washing by the spray arms. pulled the sump and found a piece of broken glass was jamming the impeller. Might have been able to remove this glass by removing the volute cover and exposing the impeller while the sump was still in the machine, but that's hindsight.

Open the control panel. Unplug the timer and then plug it back in good and firm.
If it does not work correctly after that,
Replace your timer.

Sounds like a winding on the motor is burned out or the timer is defective. The motor uses a low power circuit during the delicate cycle both during wash and spin. The timer selects which winding is energized (fast or slow).
