• Did you wash a single item or bulky items
or have you overloaded the washer?
A single item, bulky items, or overloading may
cause imbalance. Add items or try to evenly
distribute your wet laundry in the drum, and
start a DRAIN/SPIN cycle. If the laundry is
still wet, take half of the load out of the washer
and try again.
• Did you use HE detergent?
Suds during rinse and spin cycles can reduce
spin speed. Use HE detergent.
Residue, Lint, Stains On Load; Gray
Whites, Dingy Colors
• Did you add detergent to the dispenser?
For best results, add detergent to the deter-
gent compartment. Do not add detergent to
the washer drum.
• Did you sort properly?
Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint
takers (corduroy, synthetics). Dye transfer
can occur when mixing whites and colors
in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and
lights.
• Did you overload the washer?
Do not overload the washer. The washer can
be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. The
wash load must be balanced. Lint can be
trapped in the load if overloaded.
• Check the following:
Was paper or tissue left in pockets?
• Did you use enough HE detergent?
Follow manufacturer's recommendations for
the type of load you are washing. For best
performance, use only High Efficiency deter-
gent. Use enough HE detergent to remove
soil and hold it in suspension.
• Do you have hard water?
Use more detergent for washing heavy soils
in cold or hard water.
• Is your water colder than 60°F (15.6°C)?
Wash water colder than 60°F (15.6°C) may
not completely dissolve the detergent. Use
hot or warm washes if safe for the fabric load.
Make sure your hot water system is adequate
to provide a hot water wash.
•
Are you using a low speed wash cycle?
Powdered detergents may not dissolve well
in a low-speed cycle. For best results, use
liquid detergent for low speed cycles like
Delicate/Silk or Wool/Hand Wash.
•
Did you unload the washer promptly?
To avoid dye transfer, unload the washer as
soon as it stops.
• Did you use a fabric softener dispensing
ball?
Dispensing balls will not operate correctly
with this washer. Add liquid fabric softener
to the fabric softener compartment.
• Did you use powdered detergent in a low-
speed cycle?
Consider using liquid detergent.
• Did you use Rapid Wash on a large
load?
For best results, use Rapid Wash for small,
lightly soiled loads.
Stains On Load
• Did you add detergent to the dispenser?
For best results, add detergent to the deter-
gent compartment. Do not add detergent to
the washer drum.
• Did you use enough HE detergent?
Use enough detergent to remove soil and
hold it in suspension. Use only HE detergent.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.
• Is there above average iron (rust) in wa-
ter?
You may need to install an iron filter.
• Did you properly sort the load?
Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.
