This is normal. The washer alternates between agitate and soak
during these cycles to get your clothes cleaner with less wear.
Many cycles incorporate as series of soaks within the agitation
period to get your clothes clean with less wear.
Select a warmer wash temperature if possible to improve dissolving
of detergent or use liquid detergent. Make sure siphon caps are free
of debris and fully pressed into position. Remove and clean tray if
clogging occurs.
Do not overfill or add water to dispenser. Select Deep Rinse option
when using fabric softener.
The washer may pause during the spin cycle to remove soapy
water more efficiently.
Make sure cord is plugged securely into a working outlet.
Turn both hot and cold faucets fully on.
Close lid and press Start.
Check house circuit breakers/fuses. Replace fuses or reset
breaker. Washer should have a separate outlet.
Unplug washer, wait 2 minutes, plug back in and press Start if
display is active or press Power if unit is in idle (display blank)
mode.
Press Start.
Laundry detergent packets should not be used in the dispensers.
They should only be added directly to the wash basket following
the manufacturer's directions.
This is normal. Several options will change other options to
maximize washer performance.
Check fabric softener package for instructions
for using dispenser.
Make sure you have selected the Deep Rinse option.
Pretreat stain and rewash using Speed Wash cycle before drying.
Sort whites or lightly colored items from dark colors.
Be sure to follow detergent manufacturer's directions.

Make sure water heater is delivering water at 120°F–140°F (48°C–
60°C).
Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the
washer basket. For best results, load items around the outside of
the basket.
Sort clothes by color. If fabric label states wash separately,
unstable dyes may be indicated.
If you do not dry your clothes with a clothes dryer, your clothes
may retain more lint.
Separate lint producers from lint collectors.
Wash small loads for a shorter time using Light Soil setting.
Rewash, next time: Try a liquid detergent; Use warmer water
temperature.
