• Is the load balanced?
A single or bulky item may cause imbalance.
Add more items or redistribute the load.
Not Enough Water/Not Enough Suds
• Low Water?
This washer uses very little water to provide
good cleaning results. You will see little or
no water splashing in this washer. This is
normal.
• Are you using HE detergent?
HE detergent is a low sudsing detergent.
This is normal and will not affect cleaning
performance.
Wash/Rinse Temperature
• Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses
reversed?
See "Connect the Inlet Hoses," page 2-6.
• Are you washing many loads?
As your frequency of loads washed increases,
the water temperature may decrease for hot
and warm temperatures. This is normal.
Cycle Time Changes/Cycle Too Long
• Estimated cycle time?
The cycle times vary automatically based
on your water pressure, water temperature,
detergent, and clothes load. The cycle time
will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the
load is unbalanced. The options you select will
also affect the cycle times that are shown in
the Preset Cycle Settings table, page 3-14.
• Excessive suds?
When excessive suds are detected, a spe-
cial SUDs routine is started automatically, to
remove the extra suds, and assure proper
rinsing of your garments. This routine will
add time to the original cycle.
• Did the load cause imbalance?
When too much imbalance occurs, an im-
balance routine will start to redistribute the
load. During the imbalance routine the time
displayed may pause until this activity is
complete, then resume with the remainder
of the cycle.
• Did you choose the Sanitary cycle or Soil
Treat option?
In both cases the heater will be activated to
provide maximum cleaning performance.
Additional time will be added to the regular
cycle to heat the water. This additional time
will depend on the load size and the hot water
inlet temperature.
• Are you washing a single item or bulky
load?
Spin time is added if an unbalanced load is
detected. The washer will attempt to redis-
tribute the load with additional tumbling.
• Did you wash a large load on the Rapid
Wash cycle?
The Rapid Wash cycle is designed for smaller
load sizes (2-3 items) of lightly soiled gar-
ments. If larger loads are washed in this cycle,
wash time will be increased.
• Did you wash a large load in a gentle or
Delicate/Hand Wash cycle?
When using the Quick Wash, Delicate/Silk
or Wool/Hand Wash cycles, you should use
small loads. This ensures a gentle wash
for your garments without increasing cycle
times.
