Solution
• After
is pressed, the washer
does several system checks. Water
will flow 60 seconds after
pressed.
• Turn on water supply.
• Turn off the water source and
remove the water connection
hoses from the upper back of the
washer. Use a brush or toothpick to
clean the screens in the machine.
Reconnect the hose and turn the
water back on.
• 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.
• Use correct amount of detergent.
• Use HE detergent.
• Use hottest water safe for fabric.
• Use a water conditioner like Calgon
brand or install a water softener.
• Try a liquid detergent.
• Sort clothes by color. If fabric label
states wash separately unstable
dyes may be indicated.
