Whirlpool Int: The cycle was paused or cancelled.
Whirlpool's page says Int indicates the cycle was paused or cancelled. It notes the washer can take 20 to 30 minutes to stop spinning and drain, and that the code stays on display during that time.

Whirlpool says to press the Pause or Cancel button twice, then press the Power button once, and notes the method varies by model.

Disconnect the washer from power for 5 minutes, then reconnect it. If it is plugged into an outlet, unplug it for 5 minutes and plug it back in.

Where to stop
Whirlpool's page says to contact it or schedule service (service.whirlpool.com, whirlpool.com/contact-us), and lists the customer service line 1-866-698-2538.
Not covered here, on purpose: The control board. Int is a status code on Whirlpool's page, not a component fault it describes. Read when to stop and call a technician.
Same code, different meaning on other brands
None of the other brands in the verified set (Bosch, LG, Samsung, ) uses Int on the official pages read for this site. If your display shows Int on a different brand, do not apply these checks; use the lookup or that brand's own support page.
