Kenmore 110.2806, 110.2807 manual Cycle did not run Stain Treat option, Load too wet

Does the water level seem too low, or does the washer appear to not fill completely?

The Auto Water Level feature senses the size of the load and adds the correct amount of water for the load size. You may notice during a cycle that the wash load is not completely submerged in water. This is normal and necessary for clothes to move.

Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Is the washer in a normal pause in the cycle?

The washer may pause during certain cycles. Allow the cycle to continue.

Is the washer overloaded?

Wash smaller loads. See "Starting Your Washer" for maximum load size.

•Is there oversudsing?

Cancel the current cycle. Press RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN to drain the load. Re-select your desired cycle and press START. Do not add detergent. Use cold water.

•Is the lid open?

The lid must be closed during operation. The washer will not operate with the lid open.

•Did you add more items to the load once the washer started?

Once the load is wet, there may appear to be space for more items. Do not add more than 1 or 2 garments after the cycle has started. For best results determine load size with dry items only.

Washer continues to fill or drain, or the cycle seems

stuck

Is the top of drain hose lower than the control knobs on washer?

The top of the drain hose must be at least 39" (99 cm) above the floor. See "Drain System."

Does the drain hose fit too tightly in the standpipe, or is it taped to the standpipe?

The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not seal the drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See "Installation Instructions."

•Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose more than 96" (244 cm) above the floor?

See "Drain System."

•Is the lid open?

The lid must be closed during operation. The washer will not operate with the lid open.

•Is there excessive sudsing?

Always measure detergent. Follow detergent manufacturer's directions. If you have very soft water, you may need to use

less detergent. Use only High Efficiency ("HE") detergent. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher will use less detergent based on load size.

Wash/Rinse temperature

Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses reversed?

If the hot and cold water inlet hoses are reversed, the washer will display an "HC" error code at the end of the cycle. See "Connect the Inlet Hoses."

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.

Do you have an ENERGY STAR washer?

The wash water temperatures may feel cooler to you than those of your previous washer. This is normal.

Does the wash water temperature feel lower than usual? As washing progresses, the wash temperature will decrease slightly for hot and warm washes. This is normal.

To reduce wrinkling, the warm rinse is regulated to be cooler than the warm wash.

Excessive sudsing

•Did you use a non-HE detergent?

Regular or hand-washing detergents are not recommended

for this washer. Use only High Efficiency ("HE") detergent. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher will use less detergent based on load size.

Is there excessive sudsing?

Always measure detergent. Follow detergent manufacturer's directions. If you have very soft water, you might need to use less detergent.

Selecting a Fabric Softener or 2nd Rinse option will help flush excess suds from your washer.

Cycle did not run Stain Treat option

•Did you select the Stain Treat option?

The Stain Treat option must be selected for it to be included in a wash cycle.

•The Stain Treat option is a preset cycle setting in the Heavy Duty cycle and may be added to other cycles.

Load too wet

•Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Select a higher spin speed.

•Did you use a cold rinse?

Cold rinses leave loads wetter than warm rinses. This is normal.

Did you wash an extra large load?

A large unbalanced load could result in a reduced spin speed

and wet clothes at the end of the cycle. Evenly distribute the load around the basket wall and do not load above the

stainless steel portion of the basket. Select Drain and Spin to remove excess water from the load.
