Load is wrinkled
■ Did you unload the washer promptly?
Unload the washer as soon as it stops.
■ Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?
Use the Delicate, Hand Washables, or another cycle with a
low-spin speed to reduce wrinkling.
■ Did you tightly pack the washer?
The wash load must be balanced and not tightly packed.
Loads should tumble freely during washing.
Gray whites, dingy colors
■ Did you properly sort the load?
The transfer of dye can occur when mixing whites and colors
in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.
■ Was the wash temperature too low?
Use hot or warm washes if safe for the load. Make sure your
hot water system is adequate to provide a hot water wash.
■
Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard
water?
Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard
water.
Cycle too long
■ Did you choose the Sanitary cycle?
The heater will be activated to provide maximum cleaning
performance. Additional time will be added to the regular
cycle to heat the water. This additional time will depend on the
load size and the hot water inlet temperature.
■ Is "SUD" shown in the display?
Excessive sudsing has been detected and a suds routine has
been started to destroy excessive suds. This routine will add
time to the original cycle.
■ Did you wash a large load using a gentle cycle?
When using the Delicate and Hand Washables cycles you
should use small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your
garments without increasing cycle times.
■ Did the load cause imbalance?
When too much imbalance occurs, an imbalance routine will
start to redistribute the load. During the imbalance routine, the
time displayed may pause until this activity is complete, then
resume with the remainder of the cycle.
Door locked at end of wash cycle
■ Did all of the water drain out of the washer during the
spin?
Select DRAIN/SPIN to remove any water remaining in the
washer. The washer door will unlock at the end of the drain.
