Use only HE detergent. Always measure and follow detergent
directions for your load. To remove extra suds, select Rinse/Spin.
Do not add detergent.
The high spin speeds combined with air flow during the final spin
can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots
during the final spin. This is normal.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet, and
have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.

Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water. This
is normal and necessary for clothes to move.
