Wrinkling

Cause

Washer is not unloaded promptly.

Solution
  • Always remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle is complete.

Cause

Washer is overloaded.

Solution
  • The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the washer should close easily.

Cause

Hot and cold water inlet hoses are reversed.

Solution
  • A hot water rinse can set wrinkles in garments. Check the inlet hose connectors.

Staining

Cause

Softener was added directly to the wash load in the drum.

Solution
  • Always use the dispensers to prevent staining.

Cause

Washer was not unloaded promptly.

Solution
  • Always remove items from the washer as soon as possible after the cycle is completed.

Cause

Clothes were not properly sorted.

Solution
  • Always wash dark colors separately from light colors and whites to prevent discoloration.

  • Never wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled items.

Poor stain removal

Cause

Heavily soiled load.

Solution
  • Heavier soils and tougher stains may require the extra cleaning power of the Main Washer.

Cause

Previously set stains.

Solution
  • Articles that have previously been washed 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.

Musty or mildewy odor in the washer

Cause

Incorrect or too much detergent has been used.

Solution
  • Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cause

Inside of the drum was not cleaned properly.
