The washing machine dissolves and washes stains from the laundry using strong forces of water current, spinning power and detergent.
During washing, if a bulky laundry item is not submerged in the water, the machine’s washing power may be degraded.
Be aware that the Fast and Hand/Wool courses which use shorter washing times, and are designed to use washing actions that damage laundry less, may seem to have weaker washing power when it comes to tough washing requirements.
In particular, stains on sleeves or collars or stains left unwashed for a long time may not be easily removed.
Causes and Symptoms
- Laundry is not submerged in water.
- The Fast or Hand/Wool course was used.
- Contaminated laundry has been neglected for a long period of time.
- Washing was carried out with cold water during winter.
Try this
Was dirt on the severely contaminated area not removed properly?
➔ Use the Soak option.
By using the Soak option, you can wash severely contaminated clothes effectively.
For models with the Soak button, select Soak.
Press the Washing button to add washing time or for a model with the force of current button, adjust the force of current to use the washing machine.
Did you wash using cold water during winter?
➔ Try washing in hot water.
If you use only cold water during winter, detergent may not be dissolved completely.
Also, using hot water for washing stubborn stains is more effective.
Was a bulky laundry item not washed properly?
➔ After water is supplied, push it so that it is completely submerged in the water.
If it is washed without being submerged in water, the washing power may be degraded.
Is the laundry stained by a foreign object?
➔ Always open the door after washing to allow the inside of the washing machine to dry and clean the tub periodically.
Use detergents and fabric softeners according to the recommended amount for use indicated on the packaging of each detergent and fabric softener.
If a foreign object or objects have collected in the tub, the laundry may be stained by such objects.
