for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible Causes
Normal washer operation.
Excessive suds in washer.
Load may be out of balance.
Not using correct cycle for load type.
Packet not dissolving.
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.
You may use powdered or liquid laundry boosters in the Oxi
compartment (on some models). Always select the Oxi Dispense
option for proper flushing of Oxi products from dispenser. Leftover
powder may be wiped out by hand, if needed. Otherwise, select Oxi
Dispense option with the next cycle to rinse out dispenser.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in dispenser at the
end of the cycle.
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, an 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.
Spin time is added if an unbalanced load is detected. The
washer will attempt to redistribute the load with additional
tumbling.
The Quick Wash 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 Quick Wash or Delicate cycles, you should wash
small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments without
increasing cycle times.
Make sure single-dose laundry packet is added to washer
drum before adding clothes. Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations.
