Why did my clothes not get completely washed?
Poor wash performance is normally attributed to overloading, too much soap, or an out-of-balance load.
How do I use a front load washer?
Manufacturers recommend filling the tub loosely (about 75 percent capacity) to allow tumbling and mixing to help
the cleaning process.
Note: Load washer with like items if possible, to avoid an out-of-balance error.
How do I use a top load washer?
For proper washing action, it is critical to load your clothing loosely to the fill line or below the top of the
agitator. Avoid wrapping larger items around the agitator.
Note: Load washer with like items if possible, to avoid an out-of-balance error.
What sort of detergent is best?
- Only HE detergent should be used. 1 Pod or 1/8 – ¼ cup of HE powder or liquid is needed.
- Liquid bleach and softener should only be added if the machine has a dispenser labeled for them and
should never be added directly into the drum or tub. - Pods and detergent should be added directly to the drum or tub before loading your clothes.
Why can’t I fill up a washing machine?
Clothes need some room inside the washing machine to get clean. This extra room is essential for the water and
detergent to mix properly and permeate throughout your laundry. This also allows the items inside the machine to
rub against each other with just the right amount of friction to aid in proper cleaning. Correctly loading your
machine helps ensure your clothes come clean without damage, and it helps prevent wrinkles.
Try to keep loads balanced with a mix of small and large items. An unbalanced load can cause a washer error
during the spin cycle, requiring you to remove your items and restart the machine, which can potentially damage the
unit. Following these simple rules not only get clothes cleaner, it helps save you time and will keep machines
functioning properly for both you and your neighbors.
Clothes not clean, not spun out, or rinsed well? Still soapy?
Poor wash performance is normally attributed to overloading, too much soap, or an out-of-balance load. Refer to
“Machine Instructions and Tips” FAQ section for more information.
Washer not advancing or won’t finish the cycle?
The hot or cold water may be turned off or the machine may be trying to rebalance your load or flush excess
detergent. This will take extra time for the cycle to finish and your load may not spin out completely.
Note: If load comes out dripping wet, do not put into the dryer. This can be dangerous, expensive, and
cause damage to your clothes as well to the machine. Please rebalance load and rewash without adding
detergent before drying. Refer to “Machine Instructions and Tips” FAQ section for more information.
Washer smells musty?
Washer lids and doors should remain open when not in use. This allows air to circulate and keeps machines
smelling fresh. We recommend that door gaskets and door glass be wiped down after each use to remove excess moisture and
debris.
What does this machine display error code mean?
Suds: Too much soap. Wait while the machine reduces the amount of soap.
Unbalanced: Out-of-balance load or overloaded. Wait while machine tries to rebalance. If it cannot
rebalance, the load may come out more wet than normal. This will take extra time for the cycle to finish and your load may
not spin out completely.
Note: If load comes out dripping wet, do not put into the dryer. This can be dangerous, expensive, and
cause damage to your clothes as well to the machine. Please rebalance load and rewash without adding
detergent before drying. Refer to “Machine Instructions and Tips” FAQ section for more information.
UE: Out-of-balance load or overloaded. Open the door and remove large item or readjust clothing. Shut
door and press start. Each time you press start it can take an extra 30 min.
DE or DE1: The door is not properly latched. Open the door, shut firmly, and press start.
DE2: Requires a technician. Please notify us as soon as possible.
No H2O or IE: No water to the machine. Turn on water or contact property manager to turn on water.
Faucets turn on counter-clockwise. Once the water is back on, press start.
All other codes: Requires a technician. Please notify us as soon as possible.

- Add fabric sheets to the dryer.
- Load clothes loosely into the tub and close door securely.
- Add funds.
- Select cycle and dryer enhancements.
- If the machine has a start button, press start.
- After the cycle has finished, remove clothing and fold or hang as soon as possible for best results.
- Clean lint filter from dryer before using.
- For extra dry time, insert additional funds while time remains.
- Adding fabric sheets to the dryer, rather than liquid softener to the washer, is preferred.
- The improper addition of liquid softener in the washer has the potential of greying and making your clothes look dingy.
- Never move a load to a dryer unless it has spun out properly. This is dangerous, may cause dryer malfunction, will take forever to dry, and may leave dirt and soap in your clothing. Always rewash before drying.
- Load only one wash load into each dryer.
- Large wash loads may need to be split into 2 dryer loads to allow the clothes to tumble and release wrinkles.
- Allow dryer to stop before removing clothing. This allows a cool down period to prevent wrinkles and potential burns from synthetic clot
Not fully dry at cycle end?
If your clothes are warm but still damp, you may have a large or heavier-than-average load. Try running another
dry cycle or split the load into two cycles if needed.
Another possibility is that your washer’s spin cycle may not have completely rung out the clothes due to a hard-to-balance load or too much soap.
Note: If load comes out dripping wet, do not put into the dryer. This can be dangerous, expensive, and cause damage to your clothes as well to the machine. Please rebalance load and rewash without adding detergent before drying.
Dryer not heating at all?
Requires a technician. Please notify us as soon as possible.

Any authorizations for charges that have declined will drop off your account within 72 hours.
