Wash/Rinse temperature not what I selected

Load is wrinkled
s s

Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses reversed? See the Installation Instructions for more information. As your frequency of loads washed increases, the water temperature may decrease for hot and warm temperatures. This is normal. Did you select a Warm/Warm temperature setting? On models without ACCUWASH� automatic temperature control that do have a Warm/Warm temperature selection, the warm wash will be followed by an energy saving cold rinse followed by warm spray rinses. This saves energy while providing an effective rinse performance.

Did you unload the washer promptly? Unload the washer as soon as it stops. Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Use the cycle for Casual or Permanent Press clothes or another cycle with low spin speeds (if available) to reduce wrinkling. Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should move freely during washing. To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more space. Was the wash water warm enough to relax wrinkles, or are you using warm rinses? If safe for the load, use warm or hot wash water. Use cold rinse water. Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed? Check to be sure the hot and cold water hoses are connected to the right faucets. See the Installation Instructions.

Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Select a cycle with a higher spin speed (if available). Did you use a cold rinse? Cold rinses leave loads wetter than warm rinses. This is normal.

Residue or lint on load

Did you sort properly? Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color. Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Clothes should move freely. Lint can be trapped in the load if overloaded. Wash smaller loads. Did you select the correct water level? The water level should be correct for the load size. Clothes should move freely in the water. Did you use enough detergent? Follow manufacturer�s directions. Use enough detergent to hold the lint in the water. Did you line dry your clothing? If so, you can expect some lint on the clothing. Check the following: Was paper or tissue left in the pockets? Is your water colder than 70°F (21°C)? Wash water colder than 70°F (21°C) may not completely dissolve the detergent. Did you use the proper cycle time for the load? Reducing wash time (duration) is another way to reduce lint.

Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should move freely during washing. Did you wrap items around the agitator? Drop items loosely into the washer. Do not wrap items around the agitator.

Did you properly sort the load? Dye transfer can occur when mixing whites and colors in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights. Was the wash temperature too low? Use hot or warm washes if safe for the load. Make sure your hot water system is adequate to provide a hot water wash. Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard water? Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard water. Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed? Check to be sure the hot and cold water hoses are connected to the right faucets. See the Installation Instructions.

Check the following: Were sharp items removed from pockets before washing? Empty pockets, zip zippers, snap or hook fasteners before washing. Were strings and sashes tied to prevent tangling? Were items damaged before washing? Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing.

Did you follow the manufacturer�s directions when adding detergent and fabric softener? Measure detergent and fabric softener. Use enough detergent to remove soil and hold it in suspension. Dilute fabric softener and add to the rinse portion of a cycle only. Do not drip fabric softener on clothes. Is there above average iron (rust) in water? You may need to install an iron filter. Did you properly sort the load? Sort dark clothes from whites and lights. Did you unload the washer promptly? To avoid dye transfer, unload the washer as soon as it stops.

Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should move freely during washing. Did you add chlorine bleach properly? Do not pour chlorine bleach directly onto load. Wipe up bleach spills. Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics. Do not place load items on top of the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer (on some models). Did you follow the manufacturer�s care label instructions?
