much HE detergent.
Not using correct cycle for fabric type.
Not using dispensers.

See "Using Your Washer" section.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed;
however items will be wetter than those using a higher
speed spin.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the
recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.
Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water.
This is normal and necessary for clothes to move.
Added water lifts the laundry off the washplate, resulting in less
effective cleaning.
Washer is less efficient at cleaning when load is tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Load with dry items only.
Add only 1 or 2 garments after washer has started.
The suds from regular detergent can keep washer from
operating correctly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always measure detergent and follow manufacturer's directions
based on load size and soil level.
Use a higher soil level cycle option and warmer wash
temperature to improve cleaning.
If using Quick Wash cycle, wash only a few items.
Use Whites and Heavy Duty cycle for tough cleaning.
Use dispensers to avoid chlorine bleach and fabric softener
staining.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Avoid overfilling.
Do not add products directly to load.
Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle is
complete to avoid dye transfer.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in dispenser.
