Clothing Care
Load too wet
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?
Select a higher spin speed.
Did you use a cold rinse?
Cold rinses leave loads wetter than warm rinses. This is normal.
Did you wash an extra large load?
A large unbalanced load could result in a reduced spin speed
and wet clothes at the end of the cycle. Evenly distribute the
load and make sure the height of the load does not exceed the
top row of basket holes.
Residue or lint on load
Did you add detergent to the dispenser?
For best results, use the dispenser to dissolve the detergent.
Did you sort properly?
Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy,
synthetics). Also sort by color.
Select Extra Rinse.
Did you overload the washer?
The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Clothes
should move freely. Lint or powdered detergent can be
trapped in the load if the washer is overloaded. Wash smaller
loads. See "Starting Your Washer" for maximum load size.
Did you use enough detergent?
Follow detergent manufacturer's directions. Use enough
detergent to hold the lint in the water.
Did you line dry your clothing?
If so, you can expect some lint on the clothing. The air
movement and tumbling of a dryer removes lint from the load.
Was paper or tissue left in pockets?
Is your water colder than 60°F (15.6°C)?
Wash water colder than 60°F (15.6°C) may not completely
dissolve the detergent.
Did you use the proper Soil Level and Wash Cycle for the
load?
Reducing wash time (duration) and wash speed are ways to
reduce lint.
Did you add detergent to the dispenser?
For best results, use the dispenser to dissolve the detergent.
Did you select a cycle with a spray rinse?
Heavy Duty, Normal, and Quick Wash are preset with a spray
rinse to maximize water ef ciency. For loads with particulates
such as sand or lint, an extra rinse option can be added to all
cycles to aid in the removal of particulates, detergent, and
bleach residues.
I don't feel or smell fabric softener on my clothes
Did you select Fabric Softener Option?
Always select Fabric Softener option when using liquid fabric
softener.
Load is wrinkled, twisted, or tangled
Did you unload the washer promptly?
Unload the washer as soon as it stops.
16
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?
To reduce wrinkling, tangling, and twisting, select a cycle with
low wash and spin speeds, such as Delicate/Handwash or
Casual/Perm Press.
Did you overload the washer?
The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads
should move freely during washing to reduce wrinkling,
tangling, and twisting.
Was the wash water warm enough to relax wrinkles?
If safe for the load, use warm or hot wash water. Use cold
rinse water.
Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed?
Check that the hot and cold water hoses are connected to the
correct faucets. If the hot and cold water inlet hoses are
reversed, the washer will display an "HC" error code at the
end of the cycle. See "Connect the Inlet Hoses" in the
Installation Instructions. A hot rinse followed by spin will cause
wrinkling.
Stains, gray whites, dingy colors
Did you properly sort the load?
The transfer of dye can occur when mixing whites and colors
in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.
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. Water temperature should be at least 60°F (15.6°C) for
soap to dissolve and work properly. For best performance,
use the detergent manufacturer's recommended amounts.
Did you follow the manufacturer's directions when adding
detergent and fabric softener?
Measure detergent and fabric softener. Use enough detergent
to remove soil and hold it in suspension. Dilute fabric softener
and add to the rinse portion of a cycle only. Do not drip fabric
softener onto clothes.
Is there above average iron (rust) in water?
You may need to install an iron lter.
Did you add detergent to the dispenser?
For best results, use the dispenser to dissolve the detergent.
Did you add fabric softener directly to the load?
Use your fabric softener dispenser. Do not drip fabric softener
onto clothes.
Did you use a fabric softener dispensing ball?
Use the fabric softener dispenser provided with the washer.
Dispensing balls will not operate correctly with this washer.
Did you unload the washer promptly?
To avoid the transfer of dye, unload the washer as soon as it
stops.
Did you add detergent, chlorine bleach, or fabric softener
too late in the cycle?
Detergent, chlorine bleach, and fabric softener should be
added to the dispensers before starting the washer.
Did you use Quick Wash on a large load?
Quick Wash is designed to wash only a few items for best
results.
