Possible Causes
Solution
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.
Use Bulky Items or Deep Water Wash cycle for higher water fill.
See "Cycle Guide" to match your load with the best cycle.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
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.
This washer uses cooler wash and rinse water temperatures
than your previous washer. This includes cooler hot and warm
washes.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the
inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.
Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
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.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Load with dry items only.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
Use Bulky Items or Deep Water Wash cycle for higher water fill.
See "Cycle Guide" to match your load with the best cycle.
Increase Soil Level setting.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action; however, items will be
wetter than those using a higher speed spin. Use Bulky Items
or Deep Water Wash cycle for higher water fill. See the "Cycle
Guide" to match your load with the best cycle.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the
recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.
