Poor wash results
Issue Possible cause Solution
The laundry does not
get clean with liquid
detergent. Liquid detergents do
not contain bleaching
agents. Fruit, coffee
and tea stains may not
be removed. – Use powder bleach.
(Be sure this is suitable
according the fabric care
labels of the laundry.)
– Fill compartment
j with
powder bleach and use a
dispenser ball for the
liquid detergent.
– Never put liquid
detergent and bleach
together in the same
wash compartment.
Laundry has a gray
sticky residue. – Not enough
detergent was used
to dissolve greasy
deposits in heavily
soiled laundry.
– The laundry was
soiled with grease
(oils, lotions).
– Add more detergent to
laundry with grease
stains or use a liquid
detergent.
– Run a 140°F program
with liquid detergent to
clean the washer before
using it for laundry again.
There is white detergent
residue on dark laundry. The powder detergent
was not completely
dissolved because of
hard water. These
residues are difficult to
remove. – After drying, remove
white residues with a
clothes brush.
– In the future, use liquid
detergent.
Items with greasy
soiling are not clean
after a wash program. – Add a Pre-wash to the program. Use liquid
detergent for the pre-wash.
– Use a powder detergent for the main wash.
Use detergent which is specially formulated for
heavily soiled work clothes. Contact the detergent
manufacturer for more information.
