TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
If you experience
Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Cycle time changes or
cycle time too long
Possible Causes
Normal washer operation.
Excessive suds in washer.
Load may be out of balance.
Not using correct cycle for load type.
The cycle times vary automatically based on your water
pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load.
The options you select will also affect the cycle times that are
shown in the "Cycle Guide."
When excessive suds are detected, a special suds routine
automatically starts to remove extra suds and ensure proper
rinsing of your garments. This routine will add time to the
original cycle.
When load unbalance occurs, a washing process will start
to redistribute the load. This extends the cycle time. Avoid
washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug or
jacket with a few extra items.
Spin time is added if an unbalanced load is detected. The
washer will attempt to redistribute the load with additional
tumbling.
The Small Load cycle is designed for smaller load sizes
(3–5 items) of lightly soiled garments. If larger loads are
washed in this cycle, wash time will be increased.
When using the Small Load or Delicate cycles, you should
wash small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments
without increasing cycle times.
