Washer Not Performing As Expected (cont.)
Load is tangling Washer not loaded as recommended. See “Using Your Washer” section.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed;
however, items will be wetter than those using a higher speed spin.
Use Bulky/Sheets cycle for higher water fill, or set Water Level knob
to Deep Water Wash setting. See the “Cycle Guide” to match your
load with the best cycle.
NOTE: Deep Water Wash is not available in the Normal cycle mode.
Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep Water Wash setting will
result in auto sensing of the water level.

This is normal and necessary for clothes to move. It is normal
for the wash load to be not completely covered in water.
