TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here
for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible Causes
Added more water to washer.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Adding detergent on top of load.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Not using correct cycle for fabric
type.
Not using dispensers.
Not washing like colors together.
Clogged dispenser.
Sharp items were in pockets during
wash cycle.
Strings and straps could have tangled.
Items may have been damaged
before washing.
Fabric damage can occur if load is
tightly packed.
Liquid chlorine bleach may have been
added incorrectly.
Solution
Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water. This
is normal and necessary for clothes to move. It is normal for the
wash load to be not completely covered in water. 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 additional garments after washer has started.
Add detergent, oxi products, and color-safe bleach to the
bottom of the basket before adding the load items.
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 temp to
improve cleaning.
Use Heavy Duty cycle for tough cleaning. See the _'Cycle Guide"
to match your load with the best cycle.
Use dispensers to avoid chlorine bleach and fabric softener
staining.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Avoid overfilling.
Do not add products directly onto load.
Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle is
complete to avoid dye transfer.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser. Use only
fabric softener in the fabric softener dispenser.
Empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners before
washing to avoid snags and tears.
Tie all strings and straps before starting wash load.
Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing.
Garment care instructions may not
have been followed.
