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.
