Solutions
• This is normal. The washer adjusts cycle time
automatically to provide optimal results for the
selected cycle. The time remaining shown in the
display is only an estimate. Actual time may vary.
• Make sure that detergent and additives are put
into the correct dispenser compartments. For
all detergent types, always make sure that the
dispenser drawer is fully closed before the start of
the cycle.
• Make sure that the suggested amount of
detergent is used per the manufacturer's
recommendations. You may also dilute the
detergent with water to the maximum fill line on
the compartment to avoid clogging. Use only HE
(High-Efficiency) detergent.
NOTE: Always use as little detergent as
possible. High-Efficiency washers need very little
detergent to achieve optimum results. Using too
much detergent will cause poor wash and rinse
performance and may contribute to odors in
washer.
• Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets
are turned on all the way.
• It is normal for a small amount of detergent to
remain in the dispenser. If this residue builds up it
can interfere with normal dispensing of products.
Refer to the cleaning instructions.
• This is normal. Press the Power button to turn
the washer on.
• Make sure cord is plugged securely into a
working outlet.
• Turn both hot and cold faucets fully on.
• Make sure the cycle was set correctly, close the
lid (door) and press the Start/Pause button.
• The washer will not operate if the lid (door) is
open. Close the lid (door) and make sure that
nothing is caught under the lid (door) preventing it
from closing completely.
• Check house circuit breakers/fuses. Replace
fuses or reset breaker. The washer should be
on a dedicated branch circuit. The washer will
resume the cycle where it stopped once power is
restored.
• Press the Power button, then re-select the
desired cycle and press the Start/Pause button.
• Press the Power button then re-select the
desired cycle and press the Start/Pause button.
The washer will shut off if the Start/Pause button
is not pressed within 60 minutes.
• Check another faucet in the house to make sure
that household water pressure is adequate.
• If the washer has been exposed to temperatures
below freezing for an extended period of time,
allow it to warm up before pressing the Power
button. Otherwise, the display will not come on.
