Possible Causes
What To Do
Clothes too wet
Water temp selection
• Some fabrics will feel wetter when rinsed with cold water.
Colored spots
Use of fabric softener
• For best results, GE recommends use of dryer sheets to
freshen clothes and reduce static cling. If you prefer to use
liquid fabric softener, please add near the end of the wash
(agitate) portion of the cycle, before the water drains. The
“washing” light will flash when it is time to add fabric
softener. Use of liquid fabric softener during the low-water,
high-efficiency rinse can cause spotting on clothes.
Rewashing will remove these spots.
Dye transfer
• Sort whites or lightly colored items from dark colors.
Grayed or yellowed 
Not enough detergent
• Use more detergent (especially with larger loads). Be sure 
clothes
to follow detergent manufacturer’s directions.
Hard water
• Use a water conditioner like Calgon brand or install 
a water softener.
Water is not hot enough
• Make sure water heater is delivering water at 
120°F–140°F (48°C–60°C).
Washer is overloaded

clothes
clothes may retain more lint.
