Possible Causes
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Using thickened, easy-pour,
or no-splash bleach when running
the Clean Washer with affresh cycle.
Residue on door window.
Door opened during "Add Garment."
Hair, lint, or other debris on inner
door glass preventing proper seal
with rubber door seal.
Water level not visible on door or does
not cover clothes.
Check for proper water supply.
Check proper electrical supply.
Solution
Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents
can cause leaking from the door or rear of cabinet. Always
measure detergent and follow manufacturer's directions
based on your load requirements.
Use affresh tablet or regular, non-thickened chlorine bleach
when running the Clean Washer with affresh cycle.
Periodically clean the underside of the glass window to avoid
potential leaks.
Water can drip off the inside of the door when the door is
opened after the start of a cycle.
Clean inner door window and seal. See "Cleaning the Door
Seal" in the "Washer Dryer Maintenance" section.
This is normal for an HE front-load washer dryer. The washer
dryer senses load sizes and adds the correct amount of
water
for optimal cleaning.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing
to the inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets 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.
Do not plug into a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
Check electrical source or call an electrician to check if volt-
age is low.
Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.
NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
