Did you unload the washer promptly?
To avoid the transfer of dye, unload the washer as soon as it
stops.
Did you use a fabric softener dispensing ball?
Dispensing balls will not operate correctly with this washer.
Add liquid fabric softener to the fabric softener compartment.
Did you use powdered detergent in a low-speed cycle?
Consider using liquid detergent.
Did you use Quick Wash on a large load?
For best results, use Quick Wash for small, lightly soiled
loads.
Load is wrinkled
Did you unload the washer promptly?
Unload the washer as soon as it stops.
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?
Use the Delicate, Hand Washables or another cycle with a
low-spin speed to reduce wrinkling.
Did you overload the washer?
The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads
should tumble freely during washing.
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.
Cycle too long
Did you choose the Deep Clean with Steam option?
In this case, the heater and steamer 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 the hot water inlet set to the recommended
temperature
of 120°F (49°0)?
A hot water temperature below the recommended
setting will
increase heating time.
Is "SUD" shown in the display?
Excessive sudsing has been detected and a suds routine has
been started to reduce 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, Hand Washables, Silk, and Wool
cycles you should use 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 unlock at the end of the drain.
