■

Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?
Select a cycle with a higher spin speed (if available).

■

Did you use a cold rinse? Cold rinses leave loads wetter than 
warm rinses. This is normal.

■

Did you sort properly? Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from 
lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.

■

Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be 
balanced and not overloaded. Clothes should move freely. 
Lint can be trapped in the load if overloaded. Wash smaller 
loads.

■

Did you select the correct water level? The water level 
should be correct for the load size. Clothes should move freely 
in the water.

■

Did you use enough detergent? Follow manufacturer’s 
directions. Use enough detergent to hold the lint in the water.

■

Did you line dry your clothing? If so, you can expect some 
lint on the clothing.

■

Was paper or tissue left in the pockets?

Is your water colder than 70°F (21°C)? Wash water colder than 
70°F (21°C) may not completely dissolve the detergent.

Did you use the proper cycle time for the load? Reducing 
wash time (duration) is another way to reduce lint.

■

Did you follow the manufacturer’s directions when adding 
detergent and fabric softener? Measure detergent and 
fabric softener. Use enough detergent to remove soil and hold 
it in suspension. On models with an agitator mounted 
dispenser, dilute fabric softener in the fabric softener 
dispenser. Do not drip fabric softener on clothes.

■

Is there above average iron (rust) in water? You may need 
to install an iron filter.

■

Did you properly sort the load? Sort dark clothes from 
whites and lights.

■

Did you unload the washer promptly? To avoid dye transfer, 
unload the washer as soon as it stops.

wrinkling.

you using warm rinses? If safe for the load, use warm or hot 
wash water. Use cold rinse water.

into the washer. Do not wrap items around the agitator.

■

Did you properly sort the load? Dye transfer can occur when 
mixing whites and colors in a load. Sort dark clothes from 
whites and lights.

■

Was the wash temperature too low? Use hot or warm 
washes if safe for the load. Hot water should be at least 111°F 
(44°C) to clean heavy soils.

■

Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard 
water? Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or 
hard water.

■

Did you add chlorine bleach properly? Do not pour chlorine 
bleach directly onto load. Wipe up bleach spills. Undiluted 
bleach will damage fabrics. Do not place load items on top of 
the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer 
(on some models).
