TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience Possible Causes Solution

Washer not performing as expected (cont.)

Dry spots on load

after cycle

High spin speeds extract more

moisture than your previous washer.

The high spin speeds combined with airow during the nal

spin can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry

spots during the nal spin. This is normal.

Washer may be tightly packed. Use the Bulky Items & Sheets cycle or set the Water Level knob

to the Deep Water Wash setting. See “Cycle Guide” to match

your load with the best cycle.

NOTE: Deep Water Wash is not available in the Normal cycle

mode. Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep Water Wash

setting will result in auto sensing of the water level.

Added extra garments to the load

after the sensing/ll phase.

Add only one or two additional garments after washer has

started.

Incorrect or wrong

and have both hot and cold water owing to inlet valve.

Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.

Remove any kinks in hoses.

than your previous washer. This includes cooler hot and warm

washes.

however, items will be wetter than those using a higher speed

spin.
