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 cycle as this cycle has
DELICATE
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 'Wash temperatures'.
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 'Wash temperatures'.
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
to 'Wash options'.
Place items, especially sheets, in the bowl
as loose parcels.
