Energy-saving controlled wash
temperatures.
Check for proper water supply.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Washer may be tightly packed.
Fabric softener option not selected.
Heavy sand, pet hair, lint, and
detergent or bleach residues may
require additional rinsing.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Wash action and/or spin speed too fast
for load.
Load not completely
covered in water.
Added more water to washer.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Suds from regular detergent or using too much detergent can slow
or stop draining or spinning. Use only HE detergent. Always measure
and follow detergent directions for your load. To remove extra suds,
select RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN. Do not add detergent.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet, and have
both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.
ENERGY STAR qualified washers use cooler wash and rinse water
®
temperatures than traditional top-load washers. This includes
cooler hot and warm washes.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the inlet
valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.
Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
The suds from regular detergent can cause the washer
to operate incorrectly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions based on
load size and soil level.
The washer is less efficient at rinsing when load is tightly packed.
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 has started.
When using fabric softener, be sure the Fabric Softener option
is selected.
Add an Extra Rinse to the selected cycle.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do not
load garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the
recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action and slower spin speed. Note
that items will be wetter than when using a higher speed spin.
This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load will
not be completely under water. The washer senses load sizes and
adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See "What's
New under the Lid."
Do not add additional water to washer. Additional water lifts
the laundry off the washplate, resulting in less cleaning.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
The suds from regular detergent can prevent washer from
operating correctly.
