Problem:

Clothes Are Not Clean

 

Solution:

Use the correct cycle and settings for your laundry. Consult the manufacturer label on each item and refer to the fabric care chart in your user manual. Sort items accordingly and avoid mixing different fabrics requiring different settings.

Use the proper amount of High Efficiency (HE) Detergent and be cautious with fabric softeners. Avoid exceeding the MAX line and read manufacturer instructions for both detergent and clothing labels.

Pre-treat and pre-soak heavily soiled garments. Address stains immediately or keep them submerged in water with a small amount of detergent until treatment is possible.

Ensure proper load sizes. Overloading or underloading can negatively impact cleaning performance.

Check if your washer is levelled. An unlevel washer can lead to dispensing issues or reduced spin speed due to vibrations. Refer to the leveling guide provided by your washer's manufacturer.

 

Calibrate your washer using the following steps:

Remove everything from the washer.

Simultaneously press and hold Temp. and Delay End for 3 seconds until Cb appears on the display.

Press Start/Pause. The tub will rotate back and forth for 1 to 3 minutes, then display En, End, or 0, then turn off. The washer is now calibrated.

Note: On some models, you need to perform calibration while the washer is already running. On others, you start with the washer off, hold the two buttons, and then touch Power to turn on the washer while holding the buttons.

 

Terms:

High Efficiency (HE) Detergent - A specially formulated detergent designed for high efficiency washing machines, which use less water and create less suds than traditional washers.

Calibration - The process of adjusting a device or system to meet certain standards or specifications. In this context, it refers to adjusting the washer's performance for optimal cleaning results.
