moisture than traditional top-load
washers.
Check for proper water supply.
Energy saving controlled
wash temperatures.
Check for proper water supply.
Using too much detergent.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Using too low a load size/water level
selection.

detergent or bleach residues may
require additional rinsing.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Adding detergent on top of load.
Using too low a load size/water
level selection.
The high spin speeds combined with air flow during the final
spin can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry
spots during the final spin. This is normal.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet, and
have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.

The suds from too much detergent can keep washer from
operating correctly. Always measure detergent and follow
detergent directions based on load size and soil level.
The washer is less efficient at rinsing when load is tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Load with dry items only.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.

Choose a load size (water level) that matches the load being
washed.
Add an Extra Rinse to the selected cycle.
See "Using Your Washer" section.
