PROBLEM		POSSIBLE	CAUSE AND REMEDY
LINT OR RESIDUE -		● Inco~ect	sorting	of clothes. Separate lint-producers (such as terry towels and chenille)

pound of dry clothes.

●Use of non-phosphate detergents which combine with hardness minerals to form a precipitate which can be mistaken for lint. Use a phosphate or liquid detergent; use warmer wash water or soften water with an installed mechanical softener or a packaged water softener.

●Powdery residue from granular detergent may appear to be lint. Predissolve granular detergent in hot water before adding to washer; make sure detergent is completely dissolved before adding clothes; switch to liquid or cold water detergent or use warmer wash water. See page 15.

●Overloading will cause abrasion which creates excessive lint. Wash fewer items with

correct water level.

●Too much bleach. Use correct amount of bleach according to package directions.

●Not enough detergent to hold lint in suspension during wash cycle. Increase amount of detergent. See page 15.

●Incorrect use of fabric softener+ If us~ in wash cycle, softeners may react with

detergent to create a white deposit. Use softeners in rinse cycle only unless package specifies adding to wash cycle. Use Fabric Sofkner Dispenser. Seepage 9.

●Pilling usuall y on polyester-cotton blends is caused by normal wear and may look like lint. Turning clothes inside-out may help.

●Static electricityy caused by overdrying will cause attraction. Use fabric softener in rinse cycle.

These are sometimes called “Invisible Stains” because you may not notice them before washing clothes. However, if oily soils are not completely removed in wash cycle, the oily spots may pick up dirt from the wash water. The spots will then be very visible. They are not caused by the washer. Wash synthetic garments as soon as possible after wearing. Use more detergent than normal and hottest water fabric can stand. If spots appear, rub in undiluted liquid detergent, let stand 30 minutes and rewash with extra detergent using hottest water fabric can stand. Use “Extra Cleaning” cycles, see page 5.
