Solution
The transfer of dye can occur when mixing whites and colors
in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.
Use hot or warm temperatures if acceptable for the load.
Make sure your hot water system is adequate to provide a
hot water wash.
Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or
hard water.
Do not overfill dispenser. Overfilling causes immediate
dispensing.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Homes with low water pressure may result in residual powder
in the dispenser. To avoid, select a warmer wash temperature
if possible, depending on your load.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach compartment.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in dispenser
at the end of the cycle.
Be sure laundry packet is added to washer dryer drum before
adding clothes. Do not add packet to dispenser. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions to avoid damage to your
garments.
The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pres-
sure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The
options you select will also affect the cycle times.
When excessive suds are detected, a special suds routine
automatically starts to remove extra suds and ensure proper
rinsing of your garments. This routine will add time to the
original cycle.
When load unbalance occurs, a washing process will start
to redistribute the load. This extends the cycle time. Avoid
washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug or
jeans jacket with a few extra items.
The Quick Wash cycle is designed for smaller load sizes
(2–4 items) of lightly soiled garments. If larger loads are
washed
in this cycle, cycle time will be increased.
When using the Quick Wash or Delicates cycle, you should
wash small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your gar-
ments without increasing cycle time.
Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to turn off
Control Lock. For each second CONTROL LOCK is held
down, the display will count down one second, you will see
"3," then "2," then "1."
Separate the load to tumble freely. Loading drum a quarter
full or less will improve drying performance and cycle time.
Run a high-speed spin cycle.
Gently pull back the rubber door seal and clean lint with the
textured side of an affresh Machine Cleaning Wipe.
On some models: Clean the drain pump filter. See "Cleaning
the Drain Pump Filter/Draining Residual Water." This proce-
dure should be performed occasionally.
