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 machine?
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.
