You can't. Best option is not to mix colors with white when doing hot wash. Generally colors on own go well with cold wash with the right detergent. When you get new colored clothes like pyjamas rinse separately overnight to get non fast colors out and then put in the general laundry. But always keep whites on separate wash.

SOURCE: Wedding band missing in wash!

YES, there is a coin trap, and most likely your ring is in that trap. it is located under the drum on the right side. Here is how it looks.
Now is the bad news: You'll need to remove the front panel to get to it. I can't tell how to do it, have not worked on those newer frigidaires yet, but it's likely going to be fairly hard to do. You will need to remove the control panel and maybe the top to get to the front panel screws. Also be prepared to unfasten the door boot (big rubber seal) and fasten it back when you finish. Additionally, if you disconnect the coin trap from the pump, you might have hard times connecting it back (clamp pliers make that job easier). Before putting back front panel, pour some water intside the tub and check the coint trap connections for leaks. Hope I did not scare you ;)
Good luck!

Testimonial: "Thank you vladimir77! The ring was not in the trap when I got to it. Ran 3 more times until ring appeared! "

SOURCE: my washer leaks water

Hi,

The problem is due to the rubber boot is been torn that is causing you the leak. You have to check the rubber boot for leaks by removing the clamp assembly that secures the rubber boot to the outer lip of the door opening. Peel off the rubber boot then inspect it for any holes where it may be leaking. The rubber boot in your washer can be accessed only when you remove the front panel. This requires the removal first of the top panel then the console. Also check your inlet hoses on the outside of machine, also check the connections inside the panel in back.


Thank you !!

Turning blue

Place your products in a bucket and pour white vinegar over the items to cover them. Soak the items for 15 minutes to help set the fabric dye colors.
Remove your items from the bucket and place them in the washing machine.
Fill the washing machine with cool water. Add your laundry detergent and 1/2 cup of table salt to the wash water. Salt further sets the fabric dye to prevent color bleed.

What is the acuwash sensor

Washer temperature sensors and water level settings
The temperature of your washer's water varies with your laundry care needs. Standard washer models typically feature three temperature settings: Hot/Cold, Warm/Cold, and Cold/Cold—and higher-end models often offer as many as six or seven temperature settings. Temperature plays a key role in the effectiveness of your detergent—pairing the right detergent with the right setting for your fabrics and soil is important, as this will help reduce damage, prevent detergent residue, and provide the best wash across fabric types. For the best fabric care, look for washing machines with automatic temperature control (ATC). A sensor will control water temperature and ensure cold washes are above 60 degrees (F) to dissolve detergents, and warm washes do not exceed 93 degrees (F) to help prevent shrinking and bleeding.

The amount of water you use for each load also affects washer performance. Doing laundry is a bit like a science project. You need to make sure you are using the right volume of water, with the proper amount of detergent based on the dirt level of the laundry being cleaned. Too much of one component can result in a less-than-perfect outcome. Standard washing machines allow you to select water levels for different size loads, but some models offer more water-level options. Washers with automatic water levels use sensors to determine load size and adjust water level for best cleaning and rinsing performance. You will generally find these options in higher-priced top-loading washers. A benefit of front-loading washing machines is that most come with this automatic water-leveling feature.

Whirlpool® AccuWash™ temperature control sensor provides a temperature-controlled wash.

My Candy aqaviva 1000es has no instructions. I followed the pictographs on the front of the machine and put it on a ''40 degree synthetics wash'', but have twice had problems with colour bleed from...

There is no way a machine can detect if the colour can run or not. Fabrics you suspect can bleed (first time wash) should be soaked in water separately overnite. Then handwash the thing, dry out. Two washes like this will generally stop the bleed. Another tip: seperate whites from coloreds if your washing is more than one load.
