Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Sand, pet hair, lint, etc. on 

load after washing

Heavy sand, pet hair, lint, and  

detergent or bleach residues  

may require additional rinsing.

Add an Extra Rinse to the selected cycle.

Load is tangling

Washer not loaded as recommended.

See “Using Your Washer” section. 
Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed, however 

items will be wetter than those using a higher speed spin. See the 

“Cycle Guide” to match your load with the best cycle.
Load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. 
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the 

recommended cycle for the type of items being washed.

Not cleaning or removing 

stains

Added more water to washer.

Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water. This is 

normal and necessary for clothes to move. It is normal for the wash 

load to be not completely covered in water. Added water lifts the 

laundry off the washplate, resulting in less effective cleaning.

Washer not loaded as recommended.

Washer is less efficient at cleaning when tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. 
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer is started.

Adding detergent on top of load.

Add detergent, Oxi products and color-safe bleach to the bottom of 

the basket before adding the load items.

Not washing like colors together.

Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle is 

complete to avoid dye transfer.

Not using HE detergent or using too 

much HE detergent.

The suds from regular detergent can keep washer from operating 

correctly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly. 
Always measure detergent and follow manufacturer’s directions 

based on load size and soil level. 

Not using correct cycle for fabric type.

Use a higher soil level cycle option and warmer wash temperature to 

improve cleaning.
Use Power Wash

®

 cycle for tough cleaning. See the “Cycle Guide” 

to match your load with the best cycle.

Not using dispenser.

Use dispenser to avoid chlorine bleach and fabric softener staining.
Load dispenser before starting a cycle.
Do not add products directly onto load.

Incorrect dispenser 

operation

Clogged dispensers or laundry 

products dispensing too soon.

Do not overfill dispenser. Overfilling causes immediate dispensing.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
It is normal for small amounts of water to be remain in dispenser at 

the end of the cycle.
Homes with low water pressure may result in residual powder in the 

dispenser. To avoid, select a warmer wash temperature if possible, 

depending on your load.
Clean dispenser nozzle and make sure drawer is properly seated.

Liquid chlorine bleach not used in
