All About Wash Problems
Listed below are possible causes and solutions to some common wash problems.
CREASING.
Over loading the washer or dryer.
Select
CREASABLES
as this will change the rinse and select a slower, shorter spin speed. Or
change the fast spin speed from 1000 rpm to 700 rpm (Refer to Max Spin Speed page 17).
Do not leave wet clothes to sit in the washer or laundry basket.
POOR SOIL REMOVAL.
Not enough detergent for load size or amount of soil on the clothes.
Over-loading the washer.
Increase the level selected on the
HOW DIRTY
option.
Select the wash temperature according to soil type. For example, blood and mud are better
washed in cold water, while oily soils wash better in warmer water.
Separate light and heavily soiled items, as clothes can pick up soil from dirty wash water.
Cold water wash too cold, (refer Cold+ page 15).
Loads made up of articles of varying sizes will wash better (e.g. full loads of sheets may not
wash as well). Hard water areas require more detergent.
BLACK or GRAY MARKS on clothes.
A build-up caused by the interaction of fabric softener and detergent can flake off and mark
clothes, (refer to Scrud page 30).
Not enough detergent for the amount of soil on the clothes, can result in grey marks on
clothes, (refer to Detergent on page 28 and 29).
LINTING.
Wash lint givers e.g. towels, flannelette sheets, separately from lint collectors e.g. synthetics.
Overloading the washer.
Not enough detergent to hold the lint in suspension.
Over-drying in a dryer can cause a build-up of static electricity in synthetic fabrics and cause
them to attract lint.
Are you using the
SAVE WATER
option? Try using a spray & deep rinse.
RESIDUE DETERGENT.
Overloading the washer.
Try using less detergent.
Some detergents need to be pre-dissolved, check the detergent instructions.
Detergent may not dissolve properly in cold ambient temperatures, cold washes or short
agitation times. Try pre-dissolving the detergent.
DYE TRANSFER.
Wash and dry non-colourfast clothes separately.
Non colourfast clothes left sitting in a washer or laundry basket can transfer dye to other clothes.
TANGLING.
Washing with too much water (i.e. under-loading) can cause the clothes to tangle.
Do not load the washer by wrapping clothes around the agitator.
