Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.	15
Treat spots and stains.	15
Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.	15
Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and load evenly.	15
Wash small items, such as infant socks, in a mesh garment bag. To create a balanced load it is recommended that more than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.	15
Sorting	15
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers (towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside out.	15
Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from noncolorfast items.	15
Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).	15
Unloading	15
Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed. Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if left in the washer basket for a long time.	15
When unloading garments, occasionally check under the colored seal at the front of the tub for small items.	15

Excessive suds? When excessive suds are detected, a special suds routine automatically starts. Cycle will complete once extra suds are removed. This will occur more frequently when a non-HE detergent is used.	21
Is the load balanced? A single or bulky item may cause imbalance. Add more items or redistribute the load.	21
Is the drum empty? 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 1/4\	21
Is the load balanced? A single or bulky item may cause imbalance. Add more items or redistribute the load.	21
Excessive suds? When excessive suds are detected, a special suds routine automatically starts. This routine will add time to the original cycle.	21
Did the load cause imbalance? When an imbalance occurs, an imbalance routine will start to redistribute the load. This extends the cycle.	21
Are you washing a single item or bulky load? Spin time is added if an unbalanced load is detected. The washer will attempt to redistribute the load with additional tumbling.	21
Did you wash a large load in a delicate cycle? When using the Delicate wash cycle you should use small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments without increasing cycle times.	21
Clothes Care	22
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Select a cycle with a higher spin speed.	22
Did you wash a single item or bulky items or have you overloaded the washer? 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 Rinse & Spin and Drain & Spin...	22
Did you use HE detergent? Suds during rinse and spin cycles can reduce spin speed. Use HE detergent.	22
Did you add detergent to the dispenser? For best results, add detergent to the detergent compartment. Do not add detergent to the washer drum.	22
Did you sort properly? 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.	22
Did you overload the washer? 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.	22
Check the following: Was paper or tissue left in pockets?	22
Did you use enough HE detergent? 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.	22
Do you have hard water? Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard water.	22
Is your water colder than 60°F (15.6°C)? 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.	22
Are you using a low speed wash cycle? Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed cycles such as Delicate.	22
Did you unload the washer promptly? To avoid transfer of dye, unload the washer as soon as it stops.	22
Did you use a fabric softener dispensing ball? Dispensing balls will not operate correctly with this washer. Add liquid fabric softener to the fabric softener compartment.	22
Did you use powdered detergent in a low-speed cycle? Consider using liquid detergent.	22
Did you unload the washer promptly? Unload the washer as soon as it stops.	22
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Use the Delicate cycle with a low spin speed to reduce wrinkling.	22
Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should tumble freely during washing.	22
Was the wash water warm enough to relax wrinkles? If safe for load, use warm or hot wash water.	22
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. See “Connect the Inlet Hoses.”	22
