Troubleshooting and error codes
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSES | SOLUTIONS | PREVENTIVE MEASURES |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pilling (Fibers ball up and cling to fabric.) | Pilling is normal with synthetic and permanent press fabrics. This is due to abrasion from normal wear. | Use a lint brush or shaver to remove pills. | Use fabric softener in washer to lubricate fibers. When ironing, use spray starch or fabric finish on collars and cuffs. Turn items inside out to reduce abrasion. |
| Residue or powder on dark items; Stiff, harsh fabrics. | Undissolved detergent. Some granular detergents can combine with hard water minerals to form a residue. | Rewash load. | Increase water temperature using hottest water safe for fabric. DO NOT overload washer. Use liquid detergent or nonprecipitating water conditioner with powder detergent. |
| Wrinkling | Overloading washer. Incorrect wash cycle for wash load. | Reduce load size. Rinse in cold water with liquid fabric softener using the casual or delicate cycle. | DO NOT overload washer. Remove items from washer as soon as cycle is completed. Use liquid fabric softener. |
| Yellow buildup of body soil on synthetic fabrics | Agitation time too short. Wash water temperature too low. Not enough detergent. | Soak in detergent booster or product containing enzymes. Wash in hottest water safe for fabric using casual cycle. Increase detergent. Add bleach safe for fabric or treat with color remover. | Select correct cycle. Use correct amount of detergent. Wash synthetics frequently using hot or warm water. |
| Yellow or brown rust stains | Iron or manganese in water supply, water pipes, or water heater. | To restore discolored load of whites, use rust remover safe for fabric. DO NOT use chlorine bleach to remove rust stains. It may intensify discoloration. | Use nonprecipitating water softener. Before washing, run hot water for a few minutes to clear lines. Drain water heater occasionally. For an ongoing problem, install an iron filter in your water supply system. |
