Possible Causes Solution
Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto load. Wipe up
bleach spills.
Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics. Do not use more than
recommended by manufacturer.
The transfer of dye can occur when mixing whites and colors
in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.
Use hot or warm temperatures if safe for the load. Make sure your
hot water system is adequate to provide a hot water wash.
Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or
hard water.
Touch WATER HARDNESS to change water hardness to "hard."
Do not overfill dispenser. Overfilling causes immediate
dispensing.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Homes with low water pressure may result in residual powder
in the dispenser. To avoid, select a warmer wash temperature
if possible, depending on your load.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach compartment.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in dispenser
at the end of the cycle.
Be sure laundry packet is added to washer drum before
adding clothes. Do not add packet to dispenser. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions to avoid damage to your garments.
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.
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 jeans jacket with a few extra items.
The Quick Wash cycle is designed for smaller load sizes
(2–4 items) of lightly soiled garments. If larger loads are
washed in this cycle, cycle time will be increased.
When using the Quick Wash or Delicates cycle, you should wash
small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments without
increasing cycle times.
Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to turn off
Control Lock. For each second CONTROL LOCK is held down,
the display will count down one second: you will see "3," then
"2," then "1."
Do not add liquid detergent until laundry is loaded.
