Washer not loaded properly.

Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water. 

This is normal and necessary for clothes to move.

Added water lifts the laundry off the washplate, resulting in less 

effective cleaning.

Washer is less efficient at rinsing when load is tightly packed.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.

Load with dry items only.

Add only 1 or 2 garments after washer has started.

Not cleaning or  

removing stains

Wash load not completely  

covered in water.

Added more water to washer.

If you experience

Possible Causes

Solution

First try the solutions suggested here for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.  

Not using HE detergent or using too 

much HE detergent.

Not using correct cycle for fabric type.

Not using dispensers. 

Not washing like colors together.

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 manufacturer’s directions 

based on load size and soil level. 

Use a higher soil level cycle option and warmer wash  

temperature to improve cleaning.

If using Quick Wash cycle, wash only a few items.

Use Whites and Heavy Duty cycle for tough cleaning.

Use dispensers to avoid chlorine bleach and fabric softener 

staining.

Load dispensers before starting a cycle.

Avoid overfilling.

Do not add products directly to load.
Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle is 

complete to avoid dye transfer.

     Washer not performing as expected (cont.)

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.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. 

Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the  

recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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.
