Load Size Recommendations
NOTE: A single item, bulky items, or tightly packing may cause imbalance. Add items or try to evenly distribute wet laundry in
the drum, and start a Rinse/Drain & Spin cycle. If the laundry is still wet, take half of the load out of the washer and try again.
For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for each cycle.
Small load: Fill the washer drum with 3-5 items, not more than 1/4 full.
Medium load: Fill the washer drum up to about 1/2 full.
Large load: Fill the washer drum up to about 3/4 full.
Extra-large load: Fill the washer drum, but make sure clothes can tumble freely.
For best results, avoid packing tightly.
