Washer not loaded as recommended.
Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water. This is
normal and necessary for clothes to move. It is normal for the wash
load to be not completely covered in water. Added water lifts the
laundry off the washplate, resulting in less effective cleaning.
Washer is less efficient at cleaning when tightly packed.
Load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Load with
dry items only.
Add only 1 or 2 items after washer has started.
Not cleaning or
removing stains.
Added more water to washer.
