for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible Causes
Sharp items were in pockets during
wash cycle.
Strings and straps could have tangled.
Items may have been damaged before
washing.
Fabric damage can occur if washer is
tightly packed.
Liquid chlorine bleach may have been
added incorrectly.
Load not sorted properly.
Wash temperatures too low.
Not enough detergent used,
or hard water.
Empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners before
washing to avoid snags and tears.
Tie all strings and straps before starting wash load.
Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing.
Avoid tightly packing the washer. Load with dry items only.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 garments after washer is started.
Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto load. Wipe up
bleach spills.
Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics. Do not use more than
recommended by manufacturer.
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 washes 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.
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.
