PACES WASHER 101

The washer will no longer run for these reasons, doors to the machines will lock. If you try and force the door, it bends and won’t work in the future.

OVER SOAPED: You only need a ! cup of detergent.- no matter what the size of the cap- ONLY use ! cup (or 2 tablespoons). The use of liquid fabric softener will cut down on the over soaping issue- you clothes will still be getting clean. The problem is SUDS.

If the washer detects SUDS, in the "nal rinse cycle it will: stop at 9 minutes go through rinse cycles- up to 4 cycles at 11+ minutes each- could take as long as 45 minutes! Shut down and #ash SELECT CYCLE while the timer shows 9 minutes You’ll need to wait 5 minutes then reselect your cycle so the washer can "nish

UNDER or OVER LOADED: The machine needs to be loaded so that your hand can pass in the top of the tub without going through clothes, but has to have more than a pair of jeans and some socks in it. The problem is an UNBALANCED LOAD

If the washer is UNBALANCED, it will stop at 4 minutes go into a FINAL SPIN, to try and shift the load- this can take up to 20 minutes! the machine will stop at 4 minutes and the door will lock for 5 minutes your clothes will be wet You’ll need to shift the load or remove clothes to "nish the cycle WATER PRESSURE: lots of people taking showers and doing laundry at once! The problem is LOW WATER PRESSURE

If the washer has LOW WATER PRESSURE, it will stop at 36-38 minutes the SELECT CYCLE light will #ash. You’ll need to reselect your cycle to continue.

Common user mistakes may cause the washing machines to shut down but they are really easy to avoid. If you do experience a technical issue, call 1-800-MAC-GRAY (800-622-4729) or go online and report the problem. A technican will come service the machine- this may take up to 3 days.
