Garment damage
■ Check the following:
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 “Loading” 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?
Wash temperature is not what I selected
■ For permanent installations: 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.
■ For portable installations: Is the Temperature set at Cold/
Cold?
See “Portable Installation Instructions.”
