Troubleshooting
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Load not rinsed (cont.) Washer not loaded as
recommended.
Avoid tightly packing the washer. The washer will not rinse well if
tightly packed. Load with dry items only. See the “Cycle Guide”
for load size recommendations for each cycle.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 garments after washer has started.
The load may be out of balance. When load unbalance occurs, a washing process will start
to redistribute the load. This may lengthen the cycle time.
Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as
a rug or jeans jacket with a few extra items.
Load is wrinkled, twisted,
or tangled
Washer not loaded as
recommended.
Add load loosely. Items need to move freely reduce
wrinkling and tangling. See the “Cycle Guide” for load
size recommendations for each cycle.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the
recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.
Wash action too long for load. Select a lower soil level. Note that items will not be cleaned as
deeply as when using a higher soil level.
Spin speed too fast for load. Select a slower spin speed. Note that items will be wetter than
when using a faster speed spin.
The washer is not unloaded
promptly.
Unload the washer as soon as it stops or use FanFresh
®
if you will
not be able to unload the washer at the end of the cycle.
Not choosing the right cycle for the
load being washed.
Use the Delicates cycle or another cycle with a slow spin speed
to reduce wrinkling.
The wash water was not warm
enough to relax wrinkles.
If safe for load, use warm or hot wash water.
