Possible Causes
Using too much detergent, Clogged dispenser drawer, Cold water supply only, Restricted spray rinse nozzles
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before removing the dispenser drawer.
- Reduce detergent: Use high-efficiency (HE) detergent and follow the dosing instructions for your load size and soil level.
- Clean dispenser: Remove the detergent drawer and wash it thoroughly. Clean the housing and any spray holes above the drawer with a brush.
- Verify hot and cold supply: Ensure both hot and cold water valves are open so the washer can perform proper rinses.
- Run extra rinse: Enable the Extra Rinse option for heavily soiled loads or if residue persists.
