Not choosing the right cycle for the
load being washed.

enough to relax wrinkles.

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.
For best performance, not all
settings are available with each cycle,
and some options cannot be used
together.
