Solutions
• Always remove items from the washer as soon as
the cycle is complete.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub
should not be tightly packed with items. The lid
(door) of the washer should close easily.
• Hot water rinse can set wrinkles in garments.
Check the inlet hose connections.
• Dispenser compartment is overfilled causing
bleach or softener to dispense immediately.
Always measure bleach to prevent overfilling one
cup maximum.
• Dispenser drawer closed too quickly causing
softener to dispense immediately.
• Always use the dispensers to ensure that laundry
produdcts are properly dispensed at the right time
in the cycle.
• Always remove items from the washer as soon as
possible after the cycle is complete.
• Always wash dark colors separately from light
colors and whites to prevent discoloration.
• Never wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled
items.
• Heavier soils and tougher stains may require
extra cleaning power. Select the Soak or Stain
Care feature to boost the cleaning power of the
selected cycle.
• Articles that have previously been washed may
have stains that have been set. These stains
may be difficult to remove and may require hand
washing or pre-treating to aid in stain removal.
• Use only High-Efficiency (HE) detergent in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Run the Tub Clean cycle regularly.
