Washer not performing as expected (cont.)

Spin time is added if an unbalanced load is detected. The

washer will attempt to redistribute the load with additional

tumbling.

Not using correct cycle for load type.

When using the Small Load or Delicate cycles, you should

wash small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments

without increasing cycle times.

The Small Load cycle is designed for smaller load sizes

(3–5 items) of lightly soiled garments. If larger loads are

washed in this cycle, wash time will be increased.

Normal washer operation. The cycle times vary automatically based on your water

pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load.

The options you select will also affect the cycle times that are

shown in the “Cycle Guide.”

Cycle time changes or

cycle time too long

Excessive suds in washer.

Load may be out of balance.

When excessive suds are detected, a special suds routine

automatically starts to remove extra suds and ensure proper

rinsing of your garments. This routine will add time to the

original cycle.

When load unbalance occurs, a washing process will start

to redistribute the load. This extends the cycle time. Avoid

washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug or

jacket with a few extra items.
