The problem
The user could not identify several washing machine programme icons, including R, a cloud symbol, a chemical bottle, AA and A 59'.
Likely cause
No appliance fault was described. The issue was lack of programme information because the icon meanings were unclear.
What fixed it
The discussion identified the icons as programme selections rather than a fault. R was said to indicate rapid cycles, with 59, 44 and 29 minute options. The cloud symbol was identified as cotton, the chemical bottle as synthetics, and the A symbols as rinse programmes for allergy-related use. The accepted reply also advised obtaining the instruction book.
