Laundry Tips	18
Preparing clothes for washing	18
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular deterge...	18
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.	18
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.	18
Empty pockets. Small items can be caught with the washer resulting in noise or plugging the pump.	18
Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.	18
Turn wool and synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.	18
Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.	18
Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.	18
Treat spots and stains.	18
Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.	18
Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and load evenly.	18
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.	18
Sorting	18
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.	18
Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from noncolorfast items.	18
Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).	18
Unloading	18
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.	18
When unloading garments, occasionally check under the colored seal at the front of the tub for small items.	18

Does the washer shut down the same time in the same wash cycle repeatedly? Unplug washer or disconnect power. Wait 5 minutes. Plug in washer or reconnect power. Run another cycle.	23
Is the washer level? Check that the washer is level. See “Level Washer.”	24
Has the drawer dispensed detergent? Check that the dispenser drawer is not clogged with detergent.	24
Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on? Check water hose connections to the washer. Check for plugged screen in water source. Check the water supply and the water valve.	24
Low water pressure at home? Check if the home has low water pressure, open the water faucets.	24
Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on? Verify hot and cold valve at the water faucets are fully open.	24
Is the water inlet hose kinked? Straighten the hoses. Check water hose connections to the washer and make sure water supply hoses are not obstructed. Check for plugged screen.	24
Are the water inlet valve screens clogged? Turn off the water and remove inlet hoses from the washer. Remove any accumulated film or particles. Reinstall hoses, turn on water, and check for leaks.	24
Are you using HE detergent? HE detergent is a low sudsing detergent. This is normal and will not affect cleaning performance.	24
Low water? This washer uses very little water to provide good cleaning results. You will see little or no water splashing in this washer. This is normal.	24
Is the washer in a normal pause in the cycle? The washer pauses for about 2 minutes during certain cycles. Allow the cycle to continue. Some cycles feature periods of tumbling and soak.	24
Is the washer overloaded? Wash smaller loads.	24
Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses reversed? See “Connect the Inlet Hoses.”	24
Are you washing many loads? As your frequency of loads washed increases, the water temperature may decrease for hot and warm temperatures. This is normal.	24
Low water? This washer uses very little water to provide good cleaning results. You will see little or no water splashing in this washer. This is normal.	24
Are you using HE detergent? HE detergent is a low sudsing detergent. This is normal and will not affect cleaning performance.	24
Is the top of drain hose lower than 30\	24
Does the drain extend into the drain pipe more than 4½\	24
Does the drain hose fit too tightly in the standpipe, or is it taped to the standpipe? The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not seal the drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See “Secure the Drain Hose.”	24
Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose more than 96\	24
Does the drain hose fit too tightly in the standpipe, or is it taped to the standpipe? The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not seal the drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See “Secure the Drain Hose.”	24
Does the drain extend into the drain pipe more than 4½\	24
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.	24
Is the load balanced? A single or bulky item may cause imbalance. Add more items or redistribute the load.	24
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 ¼\	24
Is the load balanced? A single or bulky item may cause imbalance. Add more items or redistribute the load.	24
Excessive suds? When excessive suds are detected, a special suds routine automatically starts. This routine will add time to the original cycle.	24
Did the load cause imbalance? When an imbalance occurs, an imbalance routine will start to redistribute the load. This extends the cycle.	24
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.	24
Did you wash a large load on the Small Load cycle? The Small Load cycle is designed for smaller load sizes (2-3 items) of lightly soiled garments. If larger loads are washed in this cycle, wash time will be increased.	24
Did you wash a large load in a small load or delicate cycle? When using the Small Load, or Delicate wash cycles you should use small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments without increasing cycle times.	25
Clothes Care	25
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Select a cycle with a higher spin speed.	25
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/Drain & Spin cycle. If ...	25
Did you use HE detergent? Suds during rinse and spin cycles can reduce spin speed. Use HE detergent.	25
Did you add detergent to the dispenser? For best results, add detergent to the detergent compartment. Do not add detergent to the washer drum.	25
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.	25
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.	25
Check the following: Was paper or tissue left in pockets?	25
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.	25
Do you have hard water? Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard water.	25
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.	25
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.	25
Did you unload the washer promptly? To avoid transfer of dye, unload the washer as soon as it stops.	25
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.	25
Did you use powdered detergent in a low-speed cycle? Consider using liquid detergent.	25
Did you use Small Load on a large load? For best results, use Small Load for small, lightly soiled loads.	25
Did you unload the washer promptly? Unload the washer as soon as it stops.	25
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Use the Delicate cycle or another cycle with a low spin speed to reduce wrinkling.	25
Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should tumble freely during washing.	25
Was the wash water warm enough to relax wrinkles? If safe for load, use warm or hot wash water.	25
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.”	25
