TROUBLESHOOTING
Possible Causes
Check for proper water supply.
Check for proper electrical supply.
Normal washer operation.
Washer may be tightly packed.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Small items may have been caught
in pump or between basket and tub,
which can slow draining.
Using cycles with a lower spin speed.
Washer may be tightly packed or
unbalanced.
Hose(s) must be attached and have water flowing to inlet valve.
Water faucet(s) must be turned on.
Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged.
Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow.
Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
Ensure there is power to outlet.
Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.
NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Lid must be closed for washer to run.
Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle. Do not
interrupt cycle.
Washer may be stopped to reduce suds.
Remove several items; rearrange load evenly around the
washplate. Close lid; press START/PAUSE.
Add only 1 or 2 additional items after washer has started.
Do not add more water to the washer.
Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents can slow or
stop the washer. Always measure detergent and follow detergent
directions based on your load requirements.
To remove suds, cancel cycle. Select RINSE, then SPIN. Do not add
more detergent.
Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items.
Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your item.
Tightly packed loads may not allow the washer to spin correctly,
leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange the wet load
for balanced spinning. Select SPIN to remove excess water. See
"Using Your Washer" for loading recommendations.
