Solutions
Wrinkling
Washer not unloaded promptly.
•

Check the inlet hose connections.
Staining
Bleach or softener dispensed too
soon.
•
Dispenser compartment is overfilled causing
bleach or softener to dispense immediately.
Always measure bleach to prevent overfilling
- one cup maximum. Dispenser drawer
closed too quickly causing softener to
dispense immediately.
Bleach or softener was added
directly to the wash load in the
drum.
•

may have stains that have been set. These
stains may be difficult to remove and may
require hand washing or pre-treating to aid in
stain removal.
Odor
Some odor is caused by the
rubber attached to the washing
machine.
•
This odor is normal for new rubber and will
disappear after the machine has been run a
few times.
If the rubber door gasket and
door seal area are not cleaned
regularly, odors can occur from
mold or foreign substances.

Be sure to clean the gasket and door seal
regularly and check under the door seal for
small items when unloading the washer.
