Load is wrinkled
Did you unload the washer promptly? Unload the washer as
soon as it stops.
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?
Use the cycle for Casual or Permanent Press clothes or
another cycle with low spin speeds (if available) to reduce
wrinkling.
Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be
balanced and not overloaded. Loads should move freely
during washing.
To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some
synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more space.
Was the wash water warm enough to relax wrinkles, or are
you using warm rinses? If safe for the load, use warm or hot
wash water. Use cold rinse water.
Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed? Check to be
sure the hot and cold water hoses are connected to the right
faucets. See the Installation Instructions.
Load is tangled or twisted
Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be
balanced and not overloaded. Loads should move freely
during washing.
Did you wrap items around the agitator? Drop items loosely
into the washer. Do not wrap items around the agitator.
Gray whites, dingy colors
Did you properly sort the load? Dye transfer can occur when
mixing whites and colors in a load. Sort dark clothes from
whites and lights.
Was the wash temperature too low? Use hot or warm
washes if safe for the load. Make sure your hot water system
is adequate to provide a hot water wash.
Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard
water? Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or
hard water.
Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed? Check to be
sure the hot and cold water hoses are connected to the right
faucets. See the Installation Instructions.
Garments damaged
Check the following:
Were sharp items removed from pockets before washing?
Empty pockets, zip zippers, snap or hook fasteners before
washing.
Were strings and sashes tied to prevent tangling?
Were items damaged before washing? Mend rips and broken
threads in seams before washing.
Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be
balanced and not overloaded. Loads should move freely
during washing.
Did you add chlorine bleach properly? Do not pour chlorine
bleach directly onto load. Wipe up bleach spills. Undiluted
bleach will damage fabrics. Do not place load items on top of
the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer
(on some models).
Did you follow the manufacturer’s care label instructions?
