• Use Max Extract option.
• Try using a high-efficiency detergent to reduce sudsing.
• Load is too small. Very small loads (one or two items) may become unbalanced
and not spin out completely.
• Make sure door is firmly closed.
• Make sure hose connections are tight.
• Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to drain facility.
• Avoid overloading.
• Use high-efficiency detergent to prevent over-sudsing.
• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.
• Straighten drain hoses. Eliminate kinked hoses. If there is a drain restriction, call
for service.
• Close the door and push the Start/Pause pad. For your safety, washer will not
tumble or spin unless the door is closed.
• After pressing the Start/Pause pad, it will take 30 seconds before the washer
begins to spin. The door must lock before spin can be achieved.
• See "Tub is Completely Full of Suds" below.
• Plug cord into live electrical outlet.
• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.
• Close door and push the Start/Pause pad to start the washer. For your safety,
washer will not tumble or spin unless door is closed.
• This may be a pause or soak period in the cycle. Wait briefly and it may start.
• Check screens on inlet hoses at the faucets for obstructions. Clean screens
periodically.
• Run the washer through another complete cycle using cold water.
• Reduce detergent amount for that specific load size, soil level and water
hardness.
• Use high-efficiency or low-sudsing detergent specially formulated for front load
washers.
• Turn both faucets on fully.
• Make sure temperature selection is correct.
• Make sure hoses are connected to correct faucets. Flush water lines.
• Check the water heater. It should be set to deliver a minimum of 120° F (49° C)
hot water at the tap. Also check water heater capacity and recovery rate.
• Disconnect hoses and clean screens. Hose filter screens may be plugged.
• When warm rinse is selected, only the final rinse will be warm. The first two
rinses will be cold.
• As the washer is filling, the water temperature may change as the automatic
temperature control feature checks incoming water temperature. This is normal.
• While the washer is filling, you may notice just hot and/or just cold water going
through the dispenser when cold or warm wash temperatures are selected. This
is a normal function of the automatic temperature control feature as the washer
determines the temperature of the water.
