SOLVING OPERATING PROBLEMS

15.1

Wash Cycle Time Variations

Wash cycle time is approximate and may be affected by a number of factors:

If water pressure or flow rate is low, cycle time will increase due to longer fill times. Ensure that inlet
hose filters are not blocked.

The out of balance and oversudsing recovery will extend the cycle time.

Various options selected or washing a particularly large load may take the washer longer than expected.
These do not affect the functionality of the wash.
15.2

Detergent/Fabric Softener Remaining in the Dispenser


Was the detergent dispenser drawer closed throughout the entire cycle?

Is the dispenser accumulating dirt? If so, clean it out.

Was the dispenser overloaded with detergent?

A small amount of water remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is normal.

If there is liquid sitting at the MAX level at the end of the cycle, there may be a blockage.

Try cleaning the dispenser to remove any blockages.
15.3

Washing Comes out Very Wet at Cycle End


What cycle was selected? Particularly short or delicate cycles have shorter spins, which can result in
wetter washing at the end.

What spin speed was selected? Try selecting a faster spin speed.

Did the washer go out of balance? If so, the washer will have compensated and spun the load at a
slower speed, to reduce noise and potential damage to itself.

Re-spin washing by selecting the SPIN cycle, select the desired spin speed in OPTIONS, then press
START / PAUSE.
