Possible Causes
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Added more water to washer.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Adding detergent on top of load.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Not using correct cycle for
fabric type.
Not using dispensers.
Not washing like colors together.
Clogged dispenser.
Fabric Softener knob not set to "Yes".
Sharp items were in pockets during
wash cycle.
Strings and straps could have tangled. Tie all strings and straps before starting wash load.
Items may have been damaged
before washing.
Fabric damage can occur if load
is tightly packed.
See the "Using Your Washer" section.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed;
however, items will be wetter than those using a higher speed spin.
Use Bulky/Bedding or Jeans/Towels cycle for higher water fill, or
set Water Level knob to Deep Fill setting. See the "Cycle Guide"
chart to match your load with the best cycle.
NOTE: Deep Fill is not available in the Normal cycle mode.
Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep Fill setting will result
in auto sensing of the water level.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the
recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed
Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water.
This is normal and necessary for clothes to move. It is normal
for the wash load to be not completely covered in water.
Extra water, added manually, results in less-effective cleaning.
Washer is less efficient at cleaning when load is tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Load with dry items only.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
Add detergent, oxi products, and color-safe bleach to the
bottom of the basket before adding the load items.
The suds from regular detergent can keep washer from
operating correctly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always measure detergent and follow manufacturer's directions
based on load size and soil level.
Use a higher soil level cycle option and warmer wash temp
to improve cleaning.
Use Heavy Duty cycle for tough cleaning. See the "Cycle Guide"
chart to match your load with the best cycle.
Use dispensers to avoid chlorine bleach and fabric
softener staining.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Avoid overfilling.
Do not add products directly onto load.
Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle
is complete to avoid dye transfer.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser. Use only
fabric softener in the fabric softener dispenser.
Set Fabric Softener knob to "Yes" when using fabric softener dispenser.
Empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners before
washing to avoid snags and tears.
Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Load with dry items only.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
