1. Adjust detergent: Use HE detergent and reduce the amount used, especially for soft water.
2. Clean dispenser: Remove and wash the detergent drawer and housing to clear buildup.
3. Use warm rinse: If available, select a warm rinse option to help dissolve residue.
4. Run extra rinse: Enable an extra rinse option for heavily soiled loads.
