Laundry has a gray
sticky residue. – Not enough detergent
was used to dissolve
greasy deposits on
heavily soiled laundry.

soiled with grease,
e.g. oils, lotions, etc.
– Add more detergent to
laundry with grease stains or
use a liquid detergent.
– Run the "Sanitize" program
without laundry using liquid
detergent to clean the
washer before using it for
laundry again.
There is white
detergent residue
on dark laundry. The detergent has not

because of hard water.

difficult to remove. – After drying, remove white
residues with a clothes
brush.

softener to the detergent.
