POSSIBLE CAUSE
●
Small, unnoticed tears may enlarge during washing process. Check garments
before washing and mend all rips and tears.
● As Permanent Press garments age, they may show fraying at collars and
cuffs. This is normal due to weakening of fibers by the Permanent Press process.
It is not caused by washer. Do not wash heavy items such as towels with
Permanent Press. Remove collar stays, when possible.
● Roughness or burrs on agitator may cause rips or tears. Check agitator and file
rough spots if necessary.
● Garments weakened by age, sun or atmosphere. This is inevitable and is not
caused by washer.
● Too large loads. Load washer only with number of items that will move freely.
Pretreat with liquid detergent.
