Abstract

A method of operating a washing machine appliance may include directing a spin cycle of the washing machine appliance. The method may include identifying an out-of-balance condition during the spin cycle. The method may include suspending the spin cycle in response to identifying the out-of-balance condition during the spin cycle. The method may include providing a redistribution notification at a user interface following suspending the spin cycle. The redistribution notification may indicate a potential load redistribution procedure.
