Load is wrinkled
Did you unload the washer promptly?
Unload the washer as soon as it stops.
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?
Use the Permanent Press cycle or another cycle with low spin
speeds (if available) to reduce wrinkling.
Did you overload the washer?
The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads
should move freely during washing.
Was the wash water warm enough to relax wrinkles, or
are you using warm rinses?
If safe for the load, use warm or hot wash water. Use cold
rinse water.
Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed?
Check to be sure the hot and cold water hoses are connected
to the right faucets. See the Installation Instructions.

Gray whites, dingy colors
Did you properly sort the load?
Dye transfer can occur when mixing whites and colors in a
load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.
Was the wash temperature too low?
Use hot or warm washes if safe for the load. Hot water should
be at least 111°F (44°C) to clean heavy soils.
Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard
water?
Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard
water.
Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed?

Garment damage
Check the following:

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?
The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads
should move freely during washing.
Did you properly add chlorine bleach?
Do not pour chlorine bleach directly on load. Wipe up bleach
spills. Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics.
