Were sharp items removed from pockets before washing?
Empty pockets, zip zippers, snap or hook fasteners before
washing.
Were strings and sashes tied to prevent tangling?
Were items damaged before washing? Mend rips and broken
threads in seams before washing.
Did you overload the washer?
See "Starting Your Washer" for maximum load size.
Did you properly add chlorine bleach?
Do not pour chlorine bleach directly on load. Use your liquid
chlorine bleach dispenser. Wipe up bleach spills. Undiluted
bleach will damage fabrics. Do not place load items on top of
the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer.
Did you follow the manufacturer's care label instructions?
Cycle too long
Are you using a High Efficiency Detergent?
If using a regular sudsing detergent, the washer may be using
extra rinses to remove the suds, whLch will cause the cycle to
run longer. Use a High Efficiency detergent like TIDE®HE,
which produces less suds, or reduce the amount of regular
detergent.
Wash temperature is not what I picked
Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses reversed?
As washing progresses, the wash temperature will decrease
slightly for hot and warm washes. This is normal•
These instructions are found under the lid of your washer.
