First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
Possible Causes
Heavy sand, pet hair, lint, and
detergent or bleach residues
may require additional rinsing.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Wash load not completely
covered in water.
Added more water to washer.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Adding detergent on top of load.
Not washing like colors together.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Not using correct cycle for fabric type.
Not using dispenser or fabric softener
dispenser ball.
Not selecting Fabric Softener option.
Clogged dispenser.
Add an Extra Rinse to the selected cycle.
See "Using Your Washer" section.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed, however
items will be wetter than those using a higher speed spin. See the
"Cycle Guide" to match your load with the best cycle.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do
not load garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the
recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.
Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water. This is
normal and necessary for clothes to move.
Do not add more water to washer. Adding water lifts the garments
off the washplate, resulting in less effective cleaning.
Washer is less efficient at cleaning when tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do
not load garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer is started.
Add detergent, oxi products and color-safe bleach to the bottom of
the basket before adding the load items.
Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle is
complete to avoid dye transfer.
The suds from regular detergent can keep washer from
operating correctly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always measure detergent and follow manufacturer's directions
based on load size and soil level.
Use a higher soil level cycle option and warmer wash
temperature to improve cleaning.
Use Heavy Duty Heavy and Heavy Duty Regular cycle for tough
cleaning. See the "Cycle Guide" to match your load with the best
cycle.
Use dispenser for chlorine bleach and fabric softener dispenser
ball for fabric softener to avoid staining.
Load dispenser before starting a cycle.
Do not add products directly onto load.
Always select the Fabric Softener option when adding fabric
softener. Cycles that use spray rinsing will add additional water for
proper fabric softener dispensing when the option is selected.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser.
