PA - Of course there are at least 14 types of washing.
Your wash cycle needs full tub for large loads, and lower water level for smaller loads, which is at least two - but more likely three settings.
The wash cycle needs a normal agitation for most loads, but should have a "gentle" agitation for the "permanent press" stuff (Some add a "delicate" cycle, although I'm not too well versed on what's the delicaties).
You need to be able to use hot or warm water for the wash cycle, although a few machine may let you use cold water for the wash too.
That's 2 (maybe 3) agitator speeds, at least 2 (maybe 3) water levels, and at least two temperatures (maybe 3) = 8 (maybe 27) possible combinations just for the wash.
Most "modern" washers use cool water for all rinses, since it gets more of the suds out, but the rinse cycle needs at least the same two different speeds for normal and permapress "spins," and may also have a super-gentle spin for delicates - giving at least 16 (71?) possible combinations for the most basic of machines.
They've probably disabled a couple on yours that you might not be likely to use often if you've only got 14. Does it have a wringer?
