TROUBLESHOOTING
Solving wash problems
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Linting. Some items in load more likely to
release or pick up lint.
Wash lint givers (eg towels, flannelette
sheets) separately from lint collectors
(eg synthetic fabrics).
Overloading the washer. Try reducing your load size.
Not enough detergent to hold
the lint in suspension.
Try using more detergent.
Overdrying in a dryer can cause
a build-up of static electricity in
synthetic fabrics and cause them
to attract lint.
Try not to over dry items when using
your dryer.
Detergent residue. Overloading the washer. Try reducing your load size.
Did you use the recommended
amount of detergent?
Try using less detergent.
Some detergents need to be pre-
dissolved before being added to
the washer.
Check the detergent instructions.
Cold ambient temperatures,
cold washes and/or short
agitation times may not allow the
detergent to dissolve properly.
Try pre-dissolving the detergent before
adding it to the washer.
Black or grey marks
on clothes.
A build-up caused by the
interaction of fabric softener
and detergent can flake off and
mark clothes.
Refer to ‘Fabric softener’ and ‘Caring for
your washer’.
Insufficient detergent for the
amount of soil on the clothes, can
result in grey marks on clothes.
Make sure you are using enough detergent
for the amount of dirt in your wash load,
refer to ‘How much detergent?’.
Dye transfer. Washing dark coloured and light
coloured items together.
Remember to separate whites and colours.
Keep wet or damp dark coloured
and light coloured items separate.
Wash and dry non-colourfast
clothes separately.
Non-colourfast clothes left sitting in a
washer or laundry basket can transfer dye
onto other clothes.
