least once a year. Replace if they show signs of cracking.
Check to see if hose connections at faucets are tight.
Properly insert and secure end of drain facility.
Extrem vibration during spin
cycle
Transit packing not

Remove transit packing. See page 10.
Machine not level Adjust machine feet and tighten locknuts.
Oversudsing Wrong detergent Use only low sudsing detergents. See page 5. Run clothes
throough extra rinse cycles.
Run empty machine through complete cycle
Too much detergent Use recommended amounts. See page 5.
Washer stops during cycle Nomal pauses It is normal for the machine to pause occasionally during
operation, especially between cycles and during the
delicate wash program.
Greying clothes Not enough detergent You may need to add slighly more detergent if clothes are
heavily soiled, have oily stains, or if your water is very hard.
Water not hot enough Select hot temperature setting for each type of load. See
charts page 6 and 16.
Improperly prewashed or
presoaked
Be sure to add a prewash and/or presoak for heavily soiled
oily items.
Washer overloaded Once wet, the clothes must have room to tumble freely,
especially synthetics and permanent press.
Soap used In hard water
areas. Be sure you use a laundry "detergent" and not a "soap".
Soaps react with the minerals in hard water to form a soap
curd, which can be desposited on clothes.
Lint, residue left on clothes Improper sorting of
clothes
Separate clothes that shed lint (cheniie and terrycloth)
from clothes that attract lint (synthetics, corduroy,
velveteen).
Nonphosphate detergent
Non-phosphate detergents can combine with minerals in hard water and form a
preciptate which can appear to be lint. Use a tow
phosphate detergent, if possible. Install a water softener.
Fabric softener used
improperty Read labels. Most softeners should only be used in the
final rinse. Add softener to the softener compartment, if
added to the wash cycle, softeners can have a reaction
with detergents producing a white residue.
Piiling Pilling, which can look like lint, is produced by normal
wear on cotton/polyester blend fabrics. To reduce, wash
synhetics and cotton /polyester blends inside out. For
the best results, wash cotton/polyester knits using the
delicate cycle.
