„ 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. „ 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 Delicates. „ Did you unload the washer promptly? To avoid the transfer of dye, unload the washer as soon as it stops. „ 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. „ Did you use powdered detergent in a low-speed cycle? Consider using liquid detergent. „ Did you use Rapid Wash on a large load? For best results, use Rapid Wash for small, lightly soiled loads. Load is wrinkled, twisted, tangled „ Did you unload the washer promptly? Unload the washer as soon as it stops. „ Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Use the Delicates cycle or another cycle with a low spin speed to reduce wrinkling. „ Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should tumble freely during washing. „ Was the wash water warm enough to relax wrinkles? If safe for load, use warm or hot wash water. „ 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." 29

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.

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 Delicates.

Did you unload the washer promptly?

To avoid the transfer of dye, unload the washer as soon as it stops.

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.

Did you use powdered detergent in a low-speed cycle?

Consider using liquid detergent.

Did you use Rapid Wash on a large load?

For best results, use Rapid Wash for small, lightly soiled loads.

Load is wrinkled, twisted, tangled

Did you unload the washer promptly?

Unload the washer as soon as it stops.

Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?

Use the Delicates cycle or another cycle with a low spin speed to reduce wrinkling.

Did you overload the washer?

The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should tumble freely during

washing.

Was the wash water warm enough to relax wrinkles?

If safe for load, use warm or hot wash water.

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.”
