for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible Causes
Do not overfill dispenser. Overfilling causes immediate
dispensing.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Homes with low water pressure may result in residual powder
in the dispenser. To avoid, select a warmer wash temperature if
possible, depending on your load.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach compartment.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in dispenser at the
end of the cycle.
Keep detergent containers closed to extend the shelf life.
Always use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
The cycle times vary automatically based on your water
pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load.
The options you select will also affect the cycle times.
When excessive suds are detected, a special suds routine
automatically starts to remove extra suds and ensure proper
rinsing of your garments. This routine will add time to the
original cycle.
When load unbalance occurs, a washing process will start
to redistribute the load. This extends the cycle time. Avoid
washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug or
jeans jacket with a few extra items.
The Small Load cycle is designed for smaller load sizes
(3–4 items) of lightly soiled garments. If larger loads are
washed in this cycle, wash time will be increased.
When using the Small Load or Delicate cycles, you should
wash small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments
without increasing cycle times.
