Overloaded wash tub Do not overload washer. Largest dry load level should not
be higher than bottom of fabric softener dispenser or top of
agitator.
Warm or hot water not hot
enough Water heater temperature set too low; water
heater too far from washer Use candy/meat thermometer to measure hot water
temperature at nearby faucet. Water temperature should
be at least 140°F (60°C). Adjust water heater as
necessary.
Hot water being used elsewhere in house Avoid using hot water elsewhere before or during washer
use, or there may not be enough hot water for proper
cleaning. If problem continues, enlarge capacity of hot

Changed water levels during fill Always use RESET on water level switch when changing
water level. Do not hold switch at RESET; return switch to
desired load size.
Oversudsing Use less detergent.

temperatures Hot and cold water hoses connected to
wrong supply faucets Check hose connections. Connect hot water hose to hot
water faucet; connect cold water hose to cold water faucet.
