TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Dry spots on load
after cycle
High-speed spins extract
more moisture than traditional
top-load washers.
The high spin speeds combined with air flow during the final spin can cause items
near the top of the load to develop dry spots during the final spin. This is normal.
Incorrect or wrong
wash or rinse
temperatures
Check for proper water
supply.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet, and have both hot
and cold water flowing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.
Energy-saving controlled
wash temperatures.
ENERGY STAR
®
qualified washers use cooler wash and rinse water temperatures
than your previous washer. This includes cooler hot and warm washes.
Load not rinsed Check for proper water
supply.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.
Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
Not using HE detergent
or using too much HE
detergent.
The suds from regular detergent can keep washer from operating correctly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions based on load size
and soil level.
Washer not loaded as
recommended.
The washer is less efficient at rinsing when tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. The washer will not rinse
well if tightly packed. Load with dry items only.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
Sand, pet hair, lint,
etc. on load after
washing
Heavy sand, pet hair, lint, and
detergent or bleach residues
may require additional rinsing.
Add an Extra Rinse to the selected cycle.
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. See the “Cycle Guide” to match your
load with the best cycle.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the recommended cycle for
the type of garments being washed.
Not cleaning
or removing stains
Added more water to washer. Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water. This is normal and
necessary for clothes to move. It is normal for the wash load to be not completely
covered in water. Added water lifts the laundry off the washplate, resulting in less
effective cleaning.
