To Next PageTo Next PageWhy are there holes, tears, or snags in clothes after washing in my LG WT4801CW?
Holes, tears, or snags can occur if zippers, hooks, or buckles are unfastened, so fasten them before washing. Also, remove all objects from pockets before loading, as ribs, tears, and broken threads can cause damage.
Why does my LG WT4801CW Washer have lint on clothes?
Lint on clothes after washing can be due to overloading the washer, so avoid overloading. Also, make sure to remove all items, including tissues and papers, from pockets before washing.
How to fix blue stains on clothes from LG WT4801CW Washer?
Blue stains can occur if undiluted fabric softener is dispensed directly onto the fabric, so avoid overfilling the fabric softener dispenser and pouring liquid fabric softener directly onto the fabric. A buildup caused by the interaction of fabric softener and detergent can also flake off and mark clothes. Follow the recommendations against Scrud (waxy buildup). Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size, soil level, and water hardness.
Why is my LG Washer leaving black or gray marks on clothes?
To restore discolored load of whites, use rust remover safe for fabric. Black or gray marks on clothes can be caused by iron or manganese in the water supply, water pipes, or water heater, so install a nonprecipitating water softener or an iron filter in your water supply system for an ongoing problem. Before washing, run water for a few minutes to clear the lines.
How to improve soil removal in my LG WT4801CW Washer?
To improve soil removal when washing with your LG Washer: * Ensure you are using the correct amount of detergent, taking into account the load size, soil level, and water hardness. * Select the appropriate wash cycle, such as Heavy or Soak & Heavy for heavily soiled items. * Sort your laundry, separating heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones. * Pretreat stains and heavy soil as directed. * Use WARM or HOT water for normal soil. Note that different water temperatures may be required according to soil type. * Avoid overfilling the fabric softener dispenser and pouring liquid fabric softener directly onto fabric. * Follow recommendations to prevent scrud (waxy buildup) caused by fabric softener and detergent interaction.
