Solving Wash Problems - Fisher & Paykel WashSmart Installation Instructions And User Manual

WRINKLING or CREASING
Was the washer (or dryer) overloaded?
Selecting the EASY IRON or DELICATE cycle, will help minimize wrinkling and creasing.
Try selecting a slower spin speed.
Do not leave wet clothes to sit in the washer or laundry basket.
Select a lower wash temperature.
POOR SOIL REMOVAL
Warm wash water is too cold (refer to page 34).
Was there enough detergent for the load size or amount of soil?
White clothes are better washed separately. Separate light and heavily soiled items, as clothes can
pick up soil from dirty wash water.
Cold wash water is too cold (refer to page 34).
Select the wash temperature according to soil type. For example, blood and mud are better
washed in cold water, while oily soils wash better in warmer water.
Was the washer overloaded? Try reducing your load size.
Loads made up of articles of varying sizes will wash better (eg full loads of sheets may not wash
as well).
Hard water requires more detergent than soft water.
LINTING
Wash lint givers (eg towels, flannelette sheets) separately from lint collectors (eg synthetic fabrics).
Was the washer overloaded? Try reducing your load size.
Not enough detergent to hold the lint in suspension.
Over drying in a dryer can cause a build-up of static electricity in synthetic fabrics and cause them
to attract lint.
DETERGENT RESIDUE
Was the washer overloaded? Try reducing your load size. Items require space to move in the wash
basket.
Did you use too much detergent?
Try using less detergent.
Some detergents need to be pre-dissolved before being added to the washer. Check the detergent
instructions.
Cold ambient temperatures, cold washes and/or short agitation times may not allow the detergent
to dissolve properly. Try pre-dissolving the detergent before adding it to the machine. You may
also like to program the Controlled Cold temperature option (refer to page 34).
Did you use the most appropriate wash cycle?
