If you experience
Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Load not rinsed
Load is wrinkled,
twisted, or tangled
Not cleaning or
removing stains
Possible Causes
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Washer not loaded as
recommended.
The washer is tightly packed.
Wash action and/or spin speed too
fast for load.
The washer is not unloaded promptly.
Not choosing the right cycle for the
load being washed.
The wash water was not warm
enough to relax wrinkles.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Hard water or high level of iron (rust)
in water.
Fabric softener dispensing ball used.
Powdered detergent used for
low-speed cycle.
Not using correct cycle for fabric type.
Not using dispensers.
The suds from regular detergent can cause the washer
to operate incorrectly.
Use only HE detergent. Always measure detergent and follow
manufacturer's directions based on load size and soil level.
Avoid tightly packing the washer. The washer will not rinse well
if tightly packed. Load with dry items only. See the "Cycle
Guide" for load size recommendations for each cycle.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
Add load loosely. Items need to move freely to reduce
wrinkling and tangling. See the "Cycle Guide" for load
size recommendations for each cycle.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the
recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.
Select a slower spin speed. Note that items will be wetter
than when using a higher speed spin.
Unload the washer as soon as it stops or use TumbleFresh™
option if you will not be able to unload the washer at the end
of the cycle.
Use the Delicate cycle or another cycle with a low spin speed
to reduce wrinkling.
If safe for load, use warm or hot wash water.
Add load loosely. Items need to move freely for best cleaning.
See the "Cycle Guide" for load size recommendations for each
cycle.

staining.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
