Good Morning Rbalajadia1,

I see that you are having trouble with your Frigidaire front load washer not operating on the “Bulky” setting. I suggest you reset your appliance by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your homes circuit breaker for 2-3 minutes. When you restore the power, put the setting on “Bulky, and press start. If you are still having trouble, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your washer to determine why the “Bulky” setting is not functioning. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-
