Cycle did not run Stain Treat option
• Did you select the Stain Treat option?
The Stain Treat option must be selected for it to be included
in a wash cycle. The Stain Treat option should be started on a
dry load only. Stain Treat should not be selected after the tub
has started filling with water.
• The Stain Treat option is a default in the Heavy Duty cycle
and may be added to other cycles.
• The Stain Treat option helps to ensure better soil and stain
removal. Stain Treat uses the heater within the washer to
maintain the selected temperature setting throughout the
wash period.
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.
• 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 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.
Load is wrinkled, twisted or tangled
• 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?
To reduce wrinkling, tangling and twisting, select a cycle with
low wash speeds, such as Delicate/Handwash or Casual/
Wrinkle Free, or select a lower spin speed.
• 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." 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 filter.
• 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.
