Yellow Stains Coming From Wash Machine On White Setting.

When using white setting on our FAFS4474LWO washing machine. We keep ruining one article of clothing with something staining them yellow. It only happens on one piece of clothing each time. Any suggestions? It has only happened twice in the last 3or 4 loads.

Good Afternoon katnchas, thank you for your post!

I understand you are having trouble with your washer machine staining some items yellow. First, I recommend checking your door glass for any residue. What type of fabric softener are you using? Lastly, it is possible that there may be a foreign objects around the front bellow that could be causing this. This is not a normal DIY job so you may want to connect with a local servicer to determine the exact diagnosis. Best regards! – Chris
