Make sure cord is plugged securely into a working outlet.
Turn both hot and cold faucets fully on.
Check controls.
Close lid and reset cycle, to the beginning if necessary.
Check house circuit breakers/fuses. Replace fuses or reset
breaker. Washer should have separate outlet.
Unplug washer, wait 2 minutes, plug back in and press Start.
Press Start.
When the machine is manually turned off, the shifter will
disengage the motor before completely shutting down.
If lid is raised before the motor is disengaged, it will resume
when lid is closed.
This is normal. See START-UP SEQUENCE in the Safety
Instructions section.
The washer is sensing the load.
This is normal. The washer alternates between agitate and
soak during these cycles to get your clothes cleaner with less
wear.
Many cycles incorporate as series of soaks within the agitation
period to get your clothes clean with less wear.
Washer basket does not have a traditional brake. Washer
basket will move freely. This is normal.
Allow cycle to continue and finish.
If load is wet at the end of the cycle, even out load and run a
Drain & Spin cycle.
