Possible Causes
Washer not loaded as recommended. Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Heavy sand, pet hair, lint, and
detergent or bleach residues may
require additional rinsing.
Washer not loaded as recommended. See "Using Your Washer" section.
Added more water to washer.
Washer not loaded as recommended. Washer is less efficient at cleaning when load is tightly packed.
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.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
Use Bulky Items/Sheets or Deep Water Wash cycle for higher
water fill. See "Cycle Guide" to match your load with the best
cycle.
Add 2 Rinses to the selected cycle and/or use Heavy Duty or
Deep Water Wash cycle.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed;
however, items will be wetter than those using a higher speed
spin. Use Bulky Items/Sheets or Deep Water Wash cycle for
higher water fill. 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.
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.
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
temperature 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. For models without
dispenser, see "Accessories" section.
Do not add products directly onto load.
Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle
is complete to avoid dye transfer.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser. Use only
fabric softener in the fabric softener dispenser.
