PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SNAGS, HOLES

Chemicals such as hair bleach, dye, permanent wave solutions, battery acids and

 

TEARS, RIPS OR

toilet bowl cleaners may cause fabric holes. Rinse all towels and other articles that

 

EXCESSIVE WEAR

came in contact with these chemicals before putting them in wash. Do not

 

(continued)

contaminate clothing articles with these chemicals.

 

 

 

 

 

As Permanent Press garments age, they may show fraying at collars and cuffs. This

 

 

 

is normal due to weakening of fibers by the Permanent Press process. It is not caused

 

 

 

by washer. You can slow this process by washing small Permanent Press loads with

 

 

 

a Large Water Level. Do not wash heavy items such as towels with Permanent Press.

 

 

 

Remove collar stays, when possible.

 

 

 

 

 

Roughness or burrs on agitator may cause rips or tears. Check agitator and file rough

 

 

 

spots if necessary.

 

 

 

 

 

May be caused by the use of Regular Cycles for delicate articles. Use Perm. Press

 

 

 

cycle. Refer to Garment Manufacturer’s Care Labels.

 

 

 

 

 

Garments weakened by age, sun or atmosphere. This is inevitable and is not caused

 

 

 

by washer.
