If you experience Possible Causes Solution Washer not performing as expected (cont.) Sand, pet hair, lint, etc. Heavy sand, pet hair, lint, and on load after washing detergent or bleach residues may require additional rinsing. Add an Extra Rinse to the selected cycle. Load is tangling Washer not loaded as recommended. See "Using Your Washer" section. Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed, however items will be wetter than those using a higher speed spin. See the "Cycle Guide" to match your load with the best cycle. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed. Not cleaning or removing stains Added more water to washer. Washer not loaded as recommended. Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water. This is normal and necessary for clothes to move. It is normal for the wash load to be not completely covered in water. Added water lifts the laundry off the washplate, resulting in less effective cleaning. Washer is less efficient at cleaning when tightly packed. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Load with dry items only. Add only 1 or 2 garments after washer has started. Adding detergent on top of load. Add detergent, oxi products and color-safe bleach to the bottom of the basket before adding the load items. Not washing like colors together. Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle is complete to avoid dye transfer. Not using HE detergent or using too much HE detergent. The suds from regular detergent can keep washer from operating correctly. Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly. Not using correct cycle for fabric type. Not using dispenser or Downy Ball®. Always measure detergent and follow manufacturer's directions based on load size and soil level. Use a higher soil level cycle option and warmer wash temperature to improve cleaning. Use Power Wash® cycle for tough cleaning.
