Wash problems
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Poor soil removal. Wash cycle selected not suited to
soil level in load.
Are you using the most appropriate wash
cycle for the amount of dirt?
Warm wash water is too cold. Refer to ‘Wash cycles’.
Not enough detergent for load
size or amount of soil.
Refer to the detergent package for the
manufacturer’s recommended dosage.
White clothes are better
washed separately.
Separate light and heavily soiled items,
as clothes can pick up soil from dirty
wash water.
Cold water wash is too cold. Refer to
CONTROLLED COLD.
Select the wash temperature
according to soil type.
Blood and mud are better washed in cold
water, while oily soils are better washed in
warmer water.
Overloading the washer. Try reducing your load size.
Loads made up of articles of
varying sizes will wash better.
A full load of sheets may not wash as well.
Hard water requires more
detergent than soft water.
If you have hard water, try adding
more detergent.
Try selecting
HEAVY option using the soil
level button.
Tangling. Washing with too much water
(underloading) can cause
the clothes to tangle around
one another.
Select an appropriate water level for the
load size, or select
AUTO water level. Refer
‘Water Level’ for more information.
Items wrapped around the
agitator when loading.
Place items, especially sheets, in the bowl as
loose parcels.
Linting. Some items in load more likely to
release or pick uplint.
Wash lint givers (eg towels, flannelette
sheets) separately from lint collectors (eg
synthetic fabrics).
Overloading the washer. Try reducing your load size.
Not enough detergent to hold
the lint in suspension.
Try using more detergent.
Over-drying in a dryer can cause
a build-up of static electricity in
synthetic fabrics and cause them
to attract lint.
Try not to over dry items when using
your dryer.
