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 (3-5 items)

 

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.
