TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

If you experience

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 Rapid Wash 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 Rapid Wash or Delicate cycles, you should wash

 

small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments without

 

increasing cycle times.
