Applies to: Whirlpool front-load washer support article scope.Confidence HIGHLast verified 2026-07-25
Applies to
- Whirlpool front-load washers covered by the cited Product Help article
- Displayed Int code in that front-load scope
Region: United States. This page does not generalize the code to every Whirlpool washer.
What the code means
The machine is reporting an interrupted cycle state rather than a confirmed failed part. Whirlpool gives a defined clearing sequence for the display.
Confirmed: Whirlpool documents Int for front-load washers as a paused or canceled cycle. The official clearing path is Pause or Cancel twice and Power once, with a five-minute power disconnect if the code remains.
Can you keep using it?
Only after safe supply checks and only if the code clears.
When to stop
Stop using the washer if power disconnect is unsafe, the display will not clear, or the cycle repeatedly interrupts.
When to call a professional
Contact service if Int returns after the documented clearing step and a safe five-minute power disconnect.
Safe checks
- Confirm the code is Int before using the clearing sequence.
- Press Pause or Cancel twice and Power once.
- If the display remains, disconnect power for five minutes only where it can be done safely.
Confirmed by the manufacturer
- The cycle was paused.
- The cycle was canceled.
- The display may need the documented button sequence or a short power disconnect to clear.
Commonly associated with this fault
- A recent user cancellation or power interruption can be compatible with the displayed Int state.
Not confirmed for this exact model
- A control-board fault is not confirmed by the cited Int row alone.
Reset instructions
Whirlpool documents clearing Int by pressing Pause or Cancel twice and Power once; if still displayed, unplug or disconnect power for five minutes.
Use the documented clearing path once; stop if the code returns immediately or the washer behaves abnormally.
Information to collect before calling service
Record the model label, when the cycle was paused or canceled, whether the button sequence was tried, and whether power was disconnected safely.
Official source
For Whirlpool front-load washers, Int is documented as the cycle being paused or canceled, with Pause/Cancel twice plus Power once and a five-minute power disconnect if still displayed.
