What To Do
• Add one to two similar items.
• Redistribute load.
• While this is not caused by the washer, you can slow the
pilling process by washing garments inside out.
• Use correct amount of detergent.
• Use hottest water safe for fabric.
• Use a water conditioner like Calgon brand or install
a water softener.
• Make sure water heater is delivering water at
120°–140°F (48°–60°C).
• Try a liquid detergent.
• Sort clothes by color. If fabric label states wash separately,
unstable dyes may be indicated.
• Check fabric softener package for instructions and follow
directions for using dispenser.
• Sort whites or lightly colored items from dark colors.
• Promptly remove wash load from washer.
• Avoid mixing heavy items (like work clothes) with
light items (like blouses).
• Load your washer so clothes have enough room
to move freely.
• Match Cycle selection to the type of fabric you are
washing (especially for easy care loads).
• Wash in warm or cold water.
• Fasten snaps, hooks, buttons and zippers.
• Remove loose items like pins, objects in pockets
and sharp buttons.
• Turn knits (which snag easily) inside out.
• Never add undiluted bleach to wash or allow clothes
to come in contact with undiluted bleach. Follow
directions for use of bleach dispenser.
• Rinse items that may have chemicals on them before
washing.
