Possible Causes
Solution
Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Cycle time changes or cycle time too long
Normal washer operation. | The cycle times vary automatically based on your water |
| pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. |
| The options you select will also affect the cycle times that are |
| shown in the “Cycle Guide.” |
|
|
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, an 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 |
| jacket with a few extra items. |
Not using correct cycle for load type. | Spin time is added if an unbalanced load is detected. The |
| washer will attempt to redistribute the load with additional |
| tumbling. |
|
|
| The Delicate cycle is designed for smaller load sizes |
| of lightly soiled garments. If larger loads are washed in this |
| cycle, wash time will be increased. |
|
|
| When using the Delicate cycle, you should wash small loads. This |
| ensures a gentle wash for your garments without increasing cycle |
| times. |
