Possible Causes
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 Pesado (Heavy) and Llenado completo (Bulky) cycles 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.
Avoid overfilling.
Do not add products directly onto load.
Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle is complete
to avoid dye transfer.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in dispenser.
Do not overfill dispenser, which causes immediate dispensing.
Always select Suavizante (Fabric Softener) option to assure proper 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,
or use liquid HE detergent.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser.
In wash water temperatures colder than 60° F (15.6° C), some detergents do not
dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove. To avoid, select a warmer wash
temperature if possible, depending on your load, or use liquid HE detergent.
Empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners before washing to avoid
snags and tears.
Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do not load
garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 additional 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.
Do not place load items on top of bleach dispenser when loading and unloading
washer.
Always read and follow garment manufacturer's care label instructions. See the
"Cycle Guide" to match your load with the best cycle.

Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always follow the manufacturer's directions.

fabrics.
