Solution
The high spin speeds
combined
with air flow during
the final spin
can cause items near the top of the load to develop
dry spots
during
the final spin. This is normal.
Make
sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached
to both washer
and faucet,
and
have both hot and cold water
flowing
to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve
screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.
ENERGY
STAR<_> q ualified
washers
use cooler
wash and rinse water
temperatures
than traditional
top-load
washers.
This includes
cooler
hot and warm
washes.
Make
sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached
and have water
flowing
to the
inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water
faucets
must be on.
Inlet valve
screens on washer
may be clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
The suds from too much detergent
can keep washer
from
operating
correctly.
Always
measure
detergent
and follow
detergent
directions
based on load size and soil level.
The washer
is less efficient
at rinsing when load is tightly
packed.
Load garments
in loose heaps evenly around
the basket
wall.
Load with dry items only.
Use cycle designed
for the fabrics
being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 additional
garments
after
washer
has started.
Choose a load size (water
level) that matches
the load
being
washed.
Add Two Rinses to the selected
cycle.
See "Using Your Washer"
section.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action
and spin speed;
however,
items will be wetter
than those using a higher
speed spin. See the
"Cycle Guide"
to match
your load with the best cycle.
Load garments
in loose heaps evenly around
the basket
wall.
Reduce tangling
by mixing
types of load
items. Use the
recommended
cycle for the type of garments
being
washed.
Choose a load size (water
level) that matches
the load
being
washed.
