Solutions
• Always remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle
is completed.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be
tightly packed with items. The door of the washer should
close easily.
• Hot water rinse can set wrinkles in garments. Check the
inlet hose connections.
• Make sure the drain hose is free of clogs, kinks, etc.,
and is not pinched behind or under the washer.
• Clean the drain fi lter. See the Care and Cleaning section.
• Make sure that the water taps are open fully.
• Make sure the hoses are not kinked or pinched. Be careful
when moving the washer.
• Clean the inlet fi lters. See the Care and Cleaning section.
• Check another faucet in the house to make sure that
household water pressure is adequate.
• Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a
grounded, 3-prong, 120-VAC, 60-Hz. outlet.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase
fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualifi ed electrician.
• Make sure that the door is closed properly and press
the START/PAUSE button. After starting a cycle, it may
take a few moments before the drum begins to turn or
spin. The washer will not spin unless the door is locked
(DOOR LOCK will appear in the display).
• If the door is closed and locked and the open door error
message is displayed, call for service.
• The washer door has a safety lock to prevent burns. Allow
the washer to cool until the DOOR LOCK indicator turns off
in the display.
• Allow the washer to complete the programmed cycle, or
run the DRAIN & SPIN cycle to drain the water.
• This is normal. The washer adjusts cycle time
automatically to provide optimal results for the selected
cycle.
• Use only HE (High-Effi ciency) detergent in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
• Never use more than TWO tablespoons (1 oz. or 30 ml) of
detergent or more than TWO teaspoons (½ oz. or 15 ml) of
softener or bleach.
• Run the TUB CLEAN cycle regularly. Be sure to wipe around
and under the door seal frequently.
• Clean around door seal/glass to prevent odor or mildew
1. wipe dry the door seal/glass and the door opening area
2. wipe around the inner drum/door seal and the lower door
seal
