Brian, was this fill on a wash or rinse portion? What was the water temp, warm? Water level low? If the answer to all these is basically yes, then there are 2 timer increments on a rinse. The 1st increment is the 1st two minutes for fill. If the water level is satisfied before the timer advances in thsoe two minutes (incidentally, the timer motor is running for these 1st two minutes of a rinse fill following the spin), there is a puase until the timer mvoes for it's 2 minute increment. This is actually one of my favorite things about Kenmores and Whirlppols with either extremely good wter pressure on a warm rinse or when using a low water level and good water pressure. I pretty much had to use cold rinses on our Kenmore 800 so this even was a rare occurrance for me.
