What To Do
Select a spin option.
Make sure the cycle selected matches the load you are washing. Some
fabrics will feel wetter when rinsed with cold water.
Redistribute load in washer and run through Drain & Spin cycle.
While this is not caused by the washer, you can slow the pilling process
by washing garments inside out.
Fasten snaps, hooks, buttons and zippers.
Remove loose items like pins, objects in pockets and sharp buttons.
Turn knits (which snag easily) inside out.
Check bleach package instructions for proper amount.
Never add undiluted bleach to wash or allow clothes to come in contact
with undiluted bleach.
Rinse items that may have chemicals on them before washing.
Use Speed Wash cycle with Extra Rinse option.
Match Cycle selection to the type of fabric you are washing (especially
for easy care loads).
Avoid mixing heavy items (like jeans) with light items (like blouses).
Try a fabric softener.
Loosely load clothes in the washer basket.
Wash in warm or cold water.
