Odors

Empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners before 

washing to avoid snags and tears.

wash cycle.
Strings and straps could have tangled.

Items may have been damaged before 

washing.

Fabric damage can occur in a tightly 

packed load.

Liquid chlorine bleach may have been 

added incorrectly.

Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto load. Wipe up 

bleach spills.

Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics. Do not use more than  

recommended by manufacturer.

Do not place load items on top of bleach dispenser when  

loading and unloading washer.

Garment care instructions may not 

have been followed.

label instructions.

Fabric damage

TROUBLESHOOTING

Do not overfill dispenser, which causes immediate dispensing.
Always select Fabric Softener option to ensure proper dispensing.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Homes with low water pressure may result in residual powder in the 

dispenser. To avoid, select a warmer wash temperature if possible, 

depending on your load, or use liquid HE detergent.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser.
In wash water temperatures colder than 15.6° C (60° F), some  

detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.  

To avoid, select a warmer wash temperature if possible, depending 

on your load, or use liquid HE detergent.

Residual powder in dispenser.
