Dirty or blocked

detergent dispenser.

Clean the detergent dispenser (refer to 'Caring for your

Washer').

Liquid sitting at the

‘Max’ level at the end

of the cycle indicates a

blockage.

Clean the fabric softener dispenser (refer to 'Caring for

your Washer').

Dispenser over loaded

with detergent.

Clean out remaining detergent and refer to 'Detergent &

Fabric Softener' for dosing information.

Washing very wet at the end

of the cycle

Cycle selected not

appropriate.

Particularly short or delicate cycles have shorter spins

which can result in wetter washing at the end of the

cycle.

Incorrect spin speed

for load selected. Select a faster spin speed.

An out of balance load

has occurred.

The washer compensates for the out of balance by using

a lower spin speed, to reduce noise and potential

damage to itself.

Vibrating

Transit bolts left in

place.

Ensure transit bolts are removed prior to use of the

machine (refer to 'Installation Instructions - Removing

the Transit Bolts').

Washer may not be

level.

Ensure washer is installed on an appropriate surface

and levelled correctly (refer to 'Installation Instructions -

Levelling the machine').

Load is out of balance.

Wash an average sized load rather than a smaller load

or a single item. Washing one item at a time is not

recommended as it is difficult for the washer to balance

a single item during spin.

Solving Wash Problems

Problem Possible Causes What To Do

Creasing

Washer

overloaded. Do not overload washer.

Incorrect cycle for

load type. Use the ‘Easy Iron’ or ‘Handwash’ cycle for creasable items.

Spin speed too

fast. Select a slower spin speed.

Problem Possible Causes What To Do

Wet clothes left in

washer or laundry

basket.

Laundry left sitting wet is more likely to crease. If not removing clothes from

washer immediately at end of cycle, select the ‘Wrinkle Free’ option (WM1490F,

WM1490P and WH1480P models only). Do not leave wet washing sitting in a

washing basket.

Wash temperature

too hot for load

type.

Select a lower wash temperature. Check items care label for correct care.

Items not sorted

correctly.

Sort load so that items of similar weight are washed together (refer to 'Sorting &

Loading').

Poor soil

Removal

Incorrect wash

cycle selected.

Select a wash cycle that is appropriate for the amount of dirt (refer to 'Wash

Cycles').

Insufficient

detergent.

Ensure the correct dose of detergent is used for the load size and soil level (refer

to 'Detergent & Fabric Softener').

Washer

overloaded.

Ensure the washer is not overloaded in terms of its capacity or the cycle selected

(refer to 'Wash Cycles').

Items require a

longer wash time.

Select a higher soil level option if available (WM1490P and WM1480P models

only).

Load was

particularly dirty. Select ‘Pre Wash’ for particularly dirty loads (refer to 'Wash Cycle Options').

Items not sorted

correctly. Wash heavily and lightly soiled garments separately.

Washer dirty from

previous wash.

After washing particularly dirty clothing, we recommend putting the washer

through a ‘Rinse’ cycle after the load has been removed, to wash away any

remnants of dirt and to prevent it contaminating future washes.

Incorrect wash

temperature

selected in relation

to the type of soil.

Select a wash temperature suitable for the type of soil, eg warm for greasy soils,

cold for muddy soils. Increasing the wash temperature generally improves soil

removal and overall wash performance.

Dye transfer

Coloured items not washed

separately from white/light

coloured items.

Remember to separate whites and colours.

New or non-colourfast items

not washed separately.

Wash non-colourfast items separately and select ‘Cold’ wash

temperature.

Wet items have been left

sitting for too long.

Remove items from washer as soon as the cycle is finished, or if

items are not to be removed from the washer immediately select

‘Wrinkle Free’.

Wash temperature. Consider the wash temperature you select for your coloured

items. Lower the temperature if you are concerned.

Black or

grey marks

on clothes

Correct amount of detergent. Ensure the correct dose of detergent is used for the load size and

soil level (refer to 'Detergent & Fabric Softener').

Washer needs to be cleaned. Empty the machine and complete a ‘Drum Clean’ cycle (refer to

'Caring for your Washer').

Tangling

Items not sorted correctly. Separate larger items from smaller items.

Washer loaded incorrectly. Load items loosely and individually into the washer (ie not

folded).

Incorrect cycle for load type

selected. Use the ‘Easy Iron’ cycle to wash shirts

Washer overloaded in terms of

its capacity or the cycle

selected.

Try washing average to smaller load sizes.

Delicate items. Wash pantyhose, bras and any other delicate items prone to

tangling in a mesh laundry bag.

Contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician if a problem persists.
