.
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
. As Permanent Press garments age they may show fraying at collars
and cuffs. This is normal due to weakening of fibers by the
Permanent Press process. It is not caused by washer. You can slow
this process by washing small Permanent Press loads with a Large
Water Level. Do not wash heavy items such as towels with
Permanent Press. Remove collar stays, when possible.
Roughness or burrs on agitator may cause rips or tears. Check
agitator and file rough spots if necessary.
May be caused by use of Regular Cycle (Normal Speed) for delicate
articles. Use Perm Press& Knits Cycle (Gentle Speed). Refer to
Garment Manufacturers’ Care Instructions.
Garments weakened by age, sun or atmosphere. This is inevitable
and is not caused by washer. Slow process by washing on Permanent
Press &Knits Cycle (Gentle Speed).
Too large loads, or too little water. Load washer only with number
of items that will move freely. Select correct water level.

sharing the electrical outlet, remove it. Washer should have separate
outlet.
