Washer - Oil on Clothes After Washing

The 1995 and newer Washer transmission design makes it impossible for oil from the transmission to get into the Washer and splatter on clothing.Most of the time oily or greasy stains are caused by splatters from cooking oil. Stains from foods or cooking oils, sometimes called "invisible stains", may not be noticed as you put clothes in the Washer. If not completely removed in the wash cycle, the oily spots may pick up dirt from the wash water, making the spots visible. The Washer does not cause these spots.

Preventing Oily Stains

• Wash garments as soon as practical after wearing, using more detergent than normal and the hottest wash water the fabric can stand.

Removing Oily Stains

• Rub in undiluted detergent, let stand 30 minutes and rewash, using the hottest water the fabric can stand.

Note: If your water is extremely hot, 150 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, the water inlet hose(s) could start to break down, causing black greasy stains on clothes. Refer to the Owner's Manual for your water heater for setting the temperature accordingly, and replace the water inlet hose(s).
