If you experience
Wash Cycle Not Performing As Expected (cont.)
Gray whites, dingy colors Load not sorted properly.
Incorrect dispenser
operation
Single-dose laundry
packet not dissolving
Cycle time changes
or cycle time too long
Possible Causes
Wash temperatures too low.
Not enough detergent used,
or hard water.
Clogged dispensers or laundry
products dispensing too soon.
Liquid chlorine bleach not used
in bleach compartment.
Water in dispenser after cycle has
finished.
Adding laundry packet incorrectly.
Normal washer operation.
Excessive suds in washer.
Load may be out of balance.
Not using correct cycle
for load type.
The transfer of dye can occur when mixing whites and colors
in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.
Use hot or warm temperatures if safe for the load. Make sure your
hot water system is adequate to provide a hot water wash.
Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard water.
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.
Be sure laundry packet is added to washer drum before
adding clothes. Do not add packet to dispenser. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions to avoid damage to your garments.
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.
A What to Wash cycle selection paired with a "Quick" How
to Wash cycle selection is designed for smaller load sizes
(2–4 items) of lightly soiled garments.
When using a What to Wash cycle selection paired with the
"Quick" or "Delicates" How to Wash cycle selections, you should
wash small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments
without increasing cycle times.
