Spots can come from three sources:

1. Improper customer usage such as a pen left in a pocket.

2. Redeposition - another name for the depositing of accumulated soil built up in the nooks and crannies of the washer. This condition can be eliminated by a steady use of hot water and less detergent. (See Manual 4, Spots and Staining).

3. Leaking transmission oil into the clothes basket (GE and Maytag).
