Whirlpool WFW9550WL User Manual

■

 

Use enough detergent to remove soil and hold it in suspension. 
Use only HE detergent. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions 

 

to determine the amount of detergent to use.

■

 

You may need to install an iron filter.

■

 

Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.

■

 

To avoid the 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 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.

■

 

In this case, the heater and steamer 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.

■

Is the hot water inlet set to the recommended temperature 
of 120°F (49°C)? 

 

A hot water temperature below the recommended setting will 
increase heating time.

■

 

Excessive sudsing has been detected and a suds routine has 
been started to reduce excessive suds. This routine will add 

 

time to the original cycle.

■

 

The Quick Wash Cycle is designed for smaller load sizes 

 

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

■

 

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.
