	Excessive suds in washer.	When excessive suds are detected, a special suds routine
		automatically starts to remove extra suds and ensure proper
		rinsing of your garments. This routine will add time to the
		original cycle.
	Load may be out of balance.	When load unbalance occurs, a washing process will start
		to redistribute the load. This extends the cycle time. Avoid
		washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug or
		jeans jacket with a few extra items.
	Not using correct cycle for load type.	The Quick cycle is designed for smaller load sizes (3–4 items)
		of lightly soiled garments. If larger loads are washed in this
		cycle, cycle time will be increased.
		When using the Quick or Delicates cycles, you should wash
		small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments
		without increasing cycle times.
