Excessive suds in washer.
Load may be out of balance.
Not using correct cycle for load type.
When excessive suds are detected, a special suds routine
automatically starts to remove extra suds and ensure proper
rinsing of your garments. This routine will add time to the
original cycle.
When load unbalance occurs, an washing process will will start
to redistribute the load. This extends the cycle. Avoid washing
single items. Balance a single item such as a rug or jacket with
a few extra items.
Spin time is added if an unbalanced load is detected. The
washer will attempt to redistribute the load with additional
tumbling.
When using the Delicate cycles, you should wash small loads.
This ensures a gentle wash for your garments without increasing
cycle times.
