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’ pages 24
and 41.
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 ‘Detergent’
page23.
Empty washer and put through a
‘Bowl Clean’ cycle. (Refer to ‘Caring
for your washer - Cleaning the
inside of your washer’ page41).
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.
