Whirlpool Washer W10235934A User Manual

■

 

Rotate drum by hand to check for any binding of the spin 
basket. Check for clothing stuck between spin basket and 
outer tub. Move open end drum up and down while holding 
outer tub steady and check for looseness (more than ¼" of 
movement).

■

 

A single or bulky item may cause imbalance. Add more items 
or redistribute the load.

■

 

The cycle times vary automatically based on your water 
pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The 
cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load 
is unbalanced. The SUDs routine removes extra suds and 
assures proper rinsing of your garments. The options you 
select will also affect the cycle times that are shown in the 
Preset Cycle Settings table.

■

 

When excessive suds are detected, a special suds routine 
automatically starts. This routine will add time to the original 
cycle.

■

 

When an imbalance occurs, an imbalance routine will start to 
redistribute the load. During the imbalance routine the time 
displayed may pause until this activity is complete, then 
resume with the remainder of the cycle.

■

 

Spin time is added if an unbalanced load is detected. The 
washer will attempt to redistribute the load with additional 
tumbling.

■

 

The Quick Wash cycle is designed for smaller load sizes 

 

(2-3 items) of lightly soiled garments. If larger loads are 
washed in this cycle, wash time will be increased.

■

 

When using the Quick Wash, or Delicate/Hand Wash cycles 
you should use small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for 
your garments without increasing cycle times. 

■

 

Select a cycle with a higher spin speed.

■

 

A single item, bulky items, or overloading may cause 
imbalance. Add items or try to evenly distribute your wet 
laundry in the drum, and start a Drain/Spin cycle. If the laundry 
is still wet, take half of the load out of the washer and try 
again.

■

 

Suds during rinse and spin cycles can reduce spin speed. Use 
HE detergent.

■

 

For best results, add detergent to the detergent compartment. 
Do not add detergent to the washer drum.

■

 

Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, 
synthetics). Transfer of dye can occur when mixing whites and 
colors in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.

■

 

Do not overload the washer. The washer can be fully loaded, 
but not tightly packed. The wash load must be balanced. Lint 
can be trapped in the load if overloaded.

■

 

Was paper or tissue left in pockets?

■

 

Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for the type of load 
you are washing. For best performance, use only High 
Efficiency detergent. Use enough HE detergent to remove soil 
and hold it in suspension.

■

 

Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard 
water.

■

 

Wash water colder than 60°F (15.6°C) may not completely 
dissolve the detergent. Use hot or warm washes if safe for the 
fabric load. Make sure your hot water system is adequate to 
provide a hot water wash.

■

 

Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed 
cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed 
cycles such as Delicate/Hand Wash.

■

 

To avoid transfer of dye, unload the washer as soon as it 
stops.

■

 

Dispensing balls will not operate correctly with this washer. 
Add liquid fabric softener to the fabric softener compartment.

■

Did you use powdered detergent in a low-speed cycle? 

 

Consider using liquid detergent.

■

 

For best results, use Quick Wash for small, lightly soiled loads.

■

 

Unload the washer as soon as it stops.

■

 

Use the Delicate/Hand Wash cycle or another cycle with a low 
spin speed to reduce wrinkling.

■

 

The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads 
should tumble freely during washing.

■

 

If safe for load, use warm or hot wash water.

■

Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed? 

 

Check that the hot and cold water hoses are connected to the 
right faucets. A hot rinse followed by spin will cause wrinkling.
