WASH / RINSE TEMPERATURE
Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses •
reversed?
See “Connect the Inlet Hoses.”
Are you washing many loads? •
As your frequency of loads washed increases,
the water temperature may decrease for hot
and warm temperatures. This is normal.
CYCLE TIME CHANGES/CYCLE TOO
LONG
Estimated cycle time? •
The cycle times vary automatically based
on your water pressure, water temperature,
detergent, and clothes load. The cycle time
will be extended if oversudsing occurs or
the load is unbalanced. The SUDs routine
removes extra suds and assures proper
rinsing of your garments. The options you
select will also affect the cycle times that are
shown in the Preset Cycle Settings table.
Excessive suds? •
When excessive suds are detected, a special
suds routine automatically starts. This routine
will add time to the original cycle.
Did the load cause imbalance? •
When too much imbalance occurs, an im -
balance routine will start to redistribute the
load. During the imbalance routine the time
displayed may pause until this activity is
complete, then resume with the remainder
of the cycle.
Are you washing a single item or bulky •
load?
Spin time is added if an unbalanced load is
detected. The washer will attempt to redis -
tribute the load with additional tumbling.
Did you wash a large load on the Quick •
Wash cycle?
The Quick Wash cycle is designed for smaller
load sizes (2-3 items) of lightly soiled gar -
ments. If larger loads are washed in this
cycle, wash time will be increased.
CLOTHES CARE
L
OAD TOO WET
Did you use the right cycle for the load •
being washed?
Select a cycle with a higher spin speed.
Did you wash a single item or bulky items •
or have you overloaded the washer?
A single item, bulky items, or overloading may
cause imbalance. Add items or try to evenly
distribute your wet laundry in the drum, and
start a Drain/Spin cycle. If the laundry is still
wet, take half of the load out of the washer
and try again.
Did you use HE detergent? •
Suds during rinse and spin cycles can reduce
spin speed. Use HE detergent.
RESIDUE, LINT, STAINS ON LOAD;
GRAY WHITES, DINGY COLORS
Did you add detergent to the dispens - •
er?
For best results, add detergent to the deter -
gent compartment. Do not add detergent to
the washer drum.
Did you sort properly? •
Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint
takers (corduroy, synthetics). Dye transfer
can occur when mixing whites and colors
in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and
lights.
Did you overload the washer? •
Do not overload the washer. The washer
can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed.
The wash load must be balanced. Lint can
be trapped in the load if overloaded.
Check the following: •
Was paper or tissue left in pockets?
Did you use enough HE detergent? •
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for
the type of load you are washing. For best
performance, use only High Efficiency deter -
gent. Use enough HE detergent to remove
soil and hold it in suspension.
good cleaning results. You will see little or
no water splashing in this washer. This is
normal.
Are you using HE detergent? •
HE detergent is a low sudsing detergent. This
is normal and will not affect cleaning perfor -
mance.
Did you wash a large load in a gentle or •
Delicate cycle?
When using the Quick Wash or Delicate
cycles, you should use small loads. This
ensures a gentle wash for your garments
without increasing cycle times.
