performance of the appliance. Call for service.
Clothes caught in door
• Make sure all items are completely in the cabinet and not stuck in the door, blocking it
from closing completely. Run the cycle again.
Clothes were stored for a long period of time or are stained with a strong-smelling
substance.
• Odors can be particularly difficult to remove from clothes that have been stored for long
periods or have strong-smelling, oily stains. Wash the clothes first, before using the
appliance.
Clothes were stored for a long period of time.
• Wrinkles may be very difficult to reduce if set for a long time, especially in cotton and linen
fabrics. Iron clothes that have been stored for a long period of time before treating them
with the appliance, to reduce wrinkles more effectively.
Appliance has not been used for a long time or water tanks and filters have not been
cleaned.
• Check for dirt or foreign objects in the water supply and water drain tanks. Clean the filters
and water tanks.
Detergent or fabric softener put in water supply tank.
• Do not use anything but clean water in the water supply tank.
Item too large for hanger or fabric too delicate.
• Use the right size hanger for the item so the fabric won't bunch up and cause wrinkles.
Some fabrics are delicate and will bunch around the hanger no matter what you do. Use
the shelf for lingerie and other delicate items.
Pants were hung on the moving hanger, not in the Pants Crease Care.
• Hang pants in the Pants Crease Care to maintain creases at edge of pants legs.
Fabric is not washable, or is not colorfast.
• Check fabric care labels before treating items.
