What To Do
• While this is not caused by the washer, you
can slow the pilling process by washing
garments inside out.
• Use more detergent (especially with larger loads).
• Use a water conditioner like Calgon brand or install
a water softener.
• Make sure water heater is delivering water at
120°F.–140°F. (48°C.–60°C.).
• Select load size to match clothes load.
• Add detergent as wash basket fills with water before
you load clothes.
• Sort clothes by color. If fabric label states wash
separately, unstable dyes may be indicated.
