Speed Queen Poor Rinsing / Detergent or Lint Build-up

Washer leaves residue or lint on clothes after washing.

Possible Causes

Too much detergent, Cold-only washing with heavy soil, Clogged drain or recirculation passages, Build-up in outer tub

Safety: Unplug the washer before performing internal cleaning.

1. Reduce detergent: Use the minimum HE detergent recommended for your load size and soil level.
2. Run hot maintenance cycle: Run an empty hot cycle with washer cleaner to dissolve residue.
3. Check drain performance: Ensure the washer drains quickly; slow drain can leave lint behind.
4. Clean tub: If accessible, wipe the inner and outer tub surfaces to remove buildup.
