Solving wash problems
PROBLEM
Creasing.
Poor soil removal.
Tangling.
TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Overloading of the washer.
Inappropriate cycle
selection.
Spin speed too high.
Wash temperature too high
for items.
Wash cycle selected not
suited to soil level in load.
Warm wash water is too
cold.
Not enough detergent for
load size or amount of soil.
White clothes are better
washed separately.
Cold water wash is too cold.
Wash temperature not
suited to soil type in load.
Overloading the washer.
A full load of items of the
same size eg sheets may
not wash as well.
Hard water requires more
detergent than soft water.
Washing with too much
water (underloading) can
cause the clothes to tangle
around one another.
Items wrapped around the
agitator when loading.
WHAT TO DO
Try reducing load size.
Choose 'Easy Iron or 'Delicate' cycle
as this cycle has been designed to
minimise creasing.
Try selecting a lower spin speed.
Do not leave wet clothes to sit in
the washer or laundry basket.
Try selecting a lower wash
temperature.
Sort your load so that items of
similar weight are washed together.
Are you using the most appropriate
wash cycle for the amount of dirt?
Refer to 'Changing pre-set
options — Wash temperatures'
page 32.
Refer to the detergent package for
the manufacturers recommended
dosage.
Separate light and heavily soiled
items, as clothes can pick up soil
from dirty wash water.
Refer to 'Changing pre-set
options — Wash temperatures'
page 33.
Blood and mud are better washed in
cold water, while oily soils are better
washed in warmer water.
Try reducing your load size.
Loads made up of articles of varying
sizes will wash better.
If you have hard water, try adding
more detergent.
Select an appropriate water level
for the load size, or select 'Auto'
water level (refer to 'Wash options'
page 24).
Place items, especially sheets, in the
bowl as loose parcels.
