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.
Select the wash temperature
according to soil type.
Overloading the washer.
Loads made up of articles
of varying sizes will wash
better.
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 these cycle have 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 page 30.
Refer to the detergent package for
the manufacturer's recommended
dosage.
Separate light and heavily soiled
items, as clothes can pick up soil
from dirty wash water.
Refer to page 30.
Blood and mud are better washed in
cold water, while oily soils are better
washed in warmer water.
Try reducing your load size.
A full load of sheets may not wash
as well.
If you have hard water, try adding
more detergent.
Try selecting 'Heavy' option using
the soil level button.
Select an appropriate water level
for the load size, or select 'Auto'
water level. Refer page 22 for more
information.
Place items, especially sheets, in the
bowl as loose parcels.
