  To ensure optimal soil removal with your Kenmore Washer, use the correct amount of detergent for your load size, soil level, and water hardness. Select a WARM or HOT water setting for normally soiled items, adjusting based on soil type. For heavily soiled items, use the Heavy or Soak & Heavy wash cycle. Always separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones and pretreat stains and heavy soil as directed.

Why are there black or gray marks on clothes after washing in my Kenmore 796.29002?

  If your Kenmore Washer is leaving black or gray marks on your clothes, make sure you are using the correct amount of detergent for the load size, soil level, and water hardness. If you have hard water, consider installing a nonprecipitating water softener or an iron filter. Remove all tissues and papers from pockets before washing. Avoid overloading the washer, and if you're using a detergent that doesn't dissolve well, try pre-dissolving it before adding it to the wash.

  Yellow or brown rust stains in your Kenmore Washer may be due to iron or manganese in your water supply. To restore whites, use a rust remover safe for fabric. Before washing, run the water for a few minutes to clear the lines.
