Troubleshooting
(continued)
Symptom
Possible cause
Solution
Leftover detergent
(White particles
remain.)
Did you add excessive amounts of detergent?
z
Depending on the brand, the detergent may
not dissolve easily in low-temperature water.
z
If too much detergent is added when the
tap water pressure is low, the detergent may
remain in the detergent case.
Refer to the detergent indicator to determine the
appropriate amount of detergent.
(P. 28, 29)
Did you pour the detergent directly into the
drum?
z
If so, some detergent may remain in the drum.
Pour the detergent into the detergent case.
Did you add clumps of detergent into the
detergent case?
Break up clumps of detergent before adding it
into the powder detergent/powder bleach inlet.
Did you add the detergent into the correct
inlet?
Add detergent into the correct inlet of the
detergent case.
(P. 30)
Is the detergent case wet?
Wipe the case with a dry cloth before adding the
detergent.
Are you using powder soap made from natural
fats and oils?
Do not use powder soap. Such soaps may clog
the machine pipeline, resulting in malfunction or
water leakage.
z
Is there leftover detergent regardless of the
above?
Increase the number of rinse cycles or use the
Water-Injection Rinse function.
(P. 59)
Try liquid detergent instead of using powder
detergent.
Excessive lint
Is the lint filter clogged?
Clean the lint filter.
(P. 76, 77)
Do you clean the drum periodically?
z
Debris may have accumulated inside the
drum.
Run the [TUB CLEAN] program periodically.
(P. 52)
z
Lint is more noticeable on dark colored
laundry.
Increase the number of rinse cycles or use the
Water-Injection Rinse function.
(P. 59)
To remove lint on laundry, run the <<DRY>>
> [FUZZY] program for 30 minutes.
Turn items for which lint is a concern inside out
before washing them.
Separate such items from towels, bath towels,
etc. for washing them.
z
Lint may be more noticeable when you wash
laundry (especially dark colors) immediately
after drying towels and other items that
produce significant lint.
We recommend running the [TUB CLEAN]
program to clean the drum before washing
laundry.
(P. 52)
Insufficient cleaning
Is the wash load large?
z
The maximum wash load size varies
depending on the program you are using.
Adjust the size of your wash load based on the
program you are using.
