 tablet residue if necessary.

■

 

Use of non-HE detergent can cause a film residue which can 
result in odor.

■

 

This washer has a tight seal to avoid water leaks. To avoid 
odors, leave the door open to allow the washer to dry 
between uses.

■

 

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.

■

 

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). Also sort by color.

■

 

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?

■

 

Use enough detergent to remove lint and hold it in 
suspension. Use only HE detergent. Follow the manufacturer`s 
instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

■

 

Wash water colder than 60°F (15.6°C) may not completely 
dissolve the detergent.

■

 

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

■

 

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

■

 

Use enough detergent to remove soil and hold it in

■

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

 

Consider using liquid detergent.

■

 

Unload the washer as soon as it stops.

■

 

Use the Delicate, Hand Washables, 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.

■

 

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 washes 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.

■

 

The heater will be activated to provide maximum cleaning 
performance. Additional time will be added to the regular 
cycle to heat the water. This additional time will depend on the 
load size and the hot water inlet temperature.

■

 

Excessive sudsing has been detected and a suds routine has 
been started to destroy excessive suds. This routine will add 
time to the original cycle.

■

 

When using the Delicate and Hand Washables cycles you 
should use small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your 
garments without increasing cycle times.

■

 

When too much 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.

■

 

Select DRAIN/SPIN to remove any water remaining in the 
washer. The washer door will unlock at the end of the drain.
