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.
Cycle too long
Did you choose the Whitest Whites cycle?
The heater will be activated to provide maximum cleaning performance. Additional time
will be added to the regular cycle to heat the water. This additional time will depend on
the load size and the hot water inlet temperature.
Is “SUD” shown in the display?
Excessive sudsing has been detected and a suds routine has been started to destroy
excessive suds. This routine will add time to the original cycle.
Did you wash a large load using the Quick Wash cycle?
The Quick Wash cycle is designed for smaller load sizes (2-3 items of lightly soiled
garments). If larger loads are washed using this cycle, wash time will be increased.
Did you wash a large load using a gentle cycle?
When using the Delicate and Handwash cycles, you should wash small loads. This
ensures a gentle wash for your garments without increasing cycle times.
Did the load cause imbalance?
When too much imbalance occurs, an imbalance routine will start to redistribute the
load. During the imbalance routine, the time displayed may pause until this activity is
complete, then resume with the remainder of the cycle.
Door locked at end of wash cycle
Did all of the water drain out of the washer during the spin?
Select DRAIN & SPIN to remove any water remaining in the washer. The washer door will
