What To Do
• While this is not caused by the washer, you can slow the
pilling process by washing garments inside out.
• Fasten snaps, hooks, buttons and zippers.
• Remove loose items like pins, objects in pockets
and sharp buttons.
• Turn knits (which snag easily) inside out.
• Check bleach package instructions for proper amount.
• Never add undiluted bleach to wash or allow clothes
to come in contact with undiluted bleach.
• Rinse items that may have chemicals on them before
washing.
• Avoid mixing heavy items (like work clothes) with
light items (like blouses).
• Try a fabric softener.
• Load your washer so clothes have enough room
to move freely.
• Match Cycle selection to the type of fabric you are
washing (especially for easy care loads).
• Wash in warm or cold water.
What To Do
• This is normal. The washer alternates between agitate
and soak during the HAND WASH and CASUALS cycles
to get your clothes cleaner with less wear.
• Make sure cord is plugged securely into a working outlet.
• Turn both hot and cold faucets fully on.
• Check controls.
• Close lid and reset cycle, to the beginning if necessary.
• Check house circuit breakers/fuses. Replace fuses or
reset breaker. Washer should have separate outlet.
• Unplug washer, wait 2 minutes, plug back in, and press
START.
• Press START.
• Press START again.
