Possible Causes
Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items.
Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles with high
spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/spin speed for your garment.
To remove extra water in the load on a nonpay model, select Final Spin.
Load may need to be rearranged to allow even distribution of the load
in the basket.
Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer to spin
correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange the wet
load for balanced spinning on a nonpay model. Select the Final Spin
cycle to remove excess water. See "Using Your Washer" for loading
recommendations.
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form and
securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over drain opening.
Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above the floor.
Remove any clogs from drain hose.
Always measure and follow detergent directions for your load.
To remove extra suds on a nonpay model, select Rinse & Spin.
Do not add detergent.
The high spin speeds combined with airflow 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.
This washer uses cooler wash and rinse water temperatures than your
previous washer. This includes cooler hot and warm washes.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.
Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
The suds from too much detergent can keep washer from operating
correctly. Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions
based on load size and soil level.
The washer is less efficient at rinsing when load is tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Load with
dry items only. Do not load above bottom of white plastic clothes guard.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only one or two additional garments after washer has started.
Use PowerWash cycle.
®
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. See the "Cycle Guide"
to match your load with the best cycle.
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.
