Residue or lint on load
•Did you add detergent to the dispenser?.
For best results, use the dispenser to dissolve the detergent.
•Didyou sort properly?
Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.
•Did you overload the washer?.
The wash load must be balanced. See "Starting Your Washer" for maximum load size. Lint can be trapped in the load if overloaded. Wash smaller loads.
•Was paper or tissue left in pockets?
•Didyou use enough detergent?
Follow manufacturer's directions. Use enough detergent to hold the lint in the water.
•Is your water colder than 7O°F (21°0)?
Wash water colder than 70°F (21°C) may not completely dissolve the detergent.
•Are you using a gentle wash cycle?
Consider using liquid detergent for slow speed cycles such as Handwash, Casual or Delicate.
Stains on load
•Did you add detergent to the dispenser?.
For best results, use the dispenser to dissolve the detergent.
•Didyou use enough detergent?
Use enough detergent to remove soil and hold it in suspension. Add the manufacturer's recommended amounts.
•Did you add fabric softener directly to the load?
Use your fabric softener dispenser. Do not drip fabric softener on clothes.
•Is there above average iron (rust) in water?. You may need to install an iron filter.
•Did you properly sort the load?
Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.
•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?
Use the fabric softener dispenser provided with the washer. Dispensing balls will not operate correctly with this washer.
•Did you use powder detergent in a low speed cycle? Consider using liquid detergent.
•Did you add detergent, chlorine bleach or fabric softener too late in the cycle?
Detergent, chlorine bleach, and fabric softener should be added to the dispensers before starting the washer.
Load is wrinkled
•Did you unload the washer promptly? Unload the washer as soon as it stops.
•Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Use the Delicate cycle or another cycle with a low spin speed to reduce wrinkling.
•Did you overload the washer?
The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should move freely during washing.
•Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed?
Check to be sure the hot and cold water hoses are connected to the right faucets. (See "Installation Instructions.")
Load is tangled or twisted
•Did you overload the washer?
See "Starting Your Washer" for maximum load size. Loads should move freely during washing.
Gray whites, dingy colors
•Did you properly sort the load?
Dye transfer can occur when mixing whites and colors in a load. Sort dark fabrics from whites and lights.
•Was the wash temperature too low?
Use hot or warm washes if safe for the load. Make sure your hot water system is adequate to provide a hot water wash.
Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard water?
Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard water. Water temperature should be at least 70°F (21°C) for soap to dissolve and work properly.
Garment damage
• Checkthe following:
Were sharp items removed from pockets before washing? Empty pockets, zip zippers, snap or hook fasteners before washing.
Were strings and sashes tied to prevent tangling?
Were items damaged before washing?
Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing.
Did you overload the washer?
See "Loading" for maximum load size.
Did you properly add chlorine bleach?
Do not pour chlorine bleach directly on load. Use your liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. Wipe up bleach spills. Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics. Do not place load items on top of the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer.
•Did you follow the manufacturer's care label instructions?
Wash temperature is not what I selected
•Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses reversed?
As washing progresses, the wash temperature will decrease slightly for hot and warm washes. This is normal.
