Clothing Care - Whirlpool CABRIO Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Are you using Auto Water Level?
The Auto feature senses the size of the load and adds the
correct amount of water for the load size.
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.
Is the washer in a normal pause in the cycle?
The washer may pause during certain cycles. Allow the cycle
to continue.
Is the washer overloaded?
Wash smaller loads. See "Starting Your Washer" for
maximum load size.
Is there oversudsing?
Cancel the current cycle. Select DRAIN & SPIN to drain the
load. Re-select your desired cycle and press START. Do not
add detergent. Use cold water.
Is the lid open?
The lid must be closed during operation. The washer will not
operate with the lid open.
Did you add more items to the load once the washer
started?
Once the load is wet, there may appear to be space for more
items. Do not add more than 1 or 2 garments after the cycle
has started. For best results determine load size with dry items
only.
Washer continues to fill or drain, or the cycle seems
stuck
Is the top of drain hose lower than the control knobs on
washer?
The top of the drain hose must be at least 39" (99 cm) above
the floor. See "Drain System."
Does the drain hose fit too tightly in the standpipe, or is it
taped to the standpipe?
The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not seal
the drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See
"Installation Instructions."
Washer won't drain or spin; water remains in washer
Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose
more than 96" (244 cm) above the floor?
See "Drain System."
Is the lid open?
The lid must be closed during operation. The washer will not
operate with the lid open.
Wash/Rinse temperature
Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses reversed?
If the hot and cold water inlet hoses are reversed, the washer
will display an "HC" error code at the end of the cycle. If an
error code does not appear but you are experiencing poor
washing performance, check to see whether the inlet hoses
are reversed. See "Connect the Inlet Hoses."

Are you washing many loads?
As your frequency of loads washed increases, the water
temperature may decrease for hot and warm temperatures.
This is normal.
Do you have an ENERGY STAR
The wash water temperatures may feel cooler to you than
those of your previous washer. This is normal.
Does the wash water temperature feel lower than usual?
As washing progresses, the wash temperature will decrease
slightly for hot and warm washes. This is normal.
To reduce wrinkling, the warm rinse is regulated to be cooler
than the warm wash.
Excessive sudsing
Is there excessive sudsing?
Always measure detergent. Follow detergent manufacturer's
directions. If you have very soft water, you might need to use
less detergent.
Was the cycle interrupted and then the Deep Clean option
selected?
The Deep Clean option should be started on a dry load only.
The Deep Clean option cannot be selected after the tub has
started filling with water.
Cycle did not run Deep Clean option
Did you select the Deep Clean option?
The Deep Clean option must be selected for it to be included
in a wash cycle. The Deep Clean option should be started on
a dry load only. Deep Clean cannot be selected after the tub
has started filling with water.
The Deep Clean option is a default in the Heavy Duty cycle
and may be added to other cycles.

Load too wet
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?
Select a higher spin speed.
Did you use a cold rinse?
Cold rinses leave loads wetter than warm rinses. This is normal.
Did you wash an extra large load?
A large unbalanced load could result in a reduced spin speed
and wet clothes at the end of the cycle. Evenly distribute the
load and make sure the height of the load does not exceed
the top row of basket holes.
Residue or lint on load
Did you sort properly?
Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy,
synthetics). Also sort by color.
Did you overload the washer?
The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded.
Clothes should move freely. Lint or powdered detergent can
be trapped in the load if the washer is overloaded. Wash
smaller loads. See "Starting Your Washer" for maximum load
size.
