If you experience
Washer dryer not performing as expected (cont.)
Washer dryer won't run
or fill; washer dryer stops
working (cont.)
Washer dryer not draining/
spinning; loads are
still wet
Possible Causes
The load size is being sensed.
Normal washer dryer operation.
The washer dryer door is not firmly
shut.
On some models: The Load & Go bulk
dispenser is not fully seated in the
washer dryer.
Washer dryer not loaded as
recommended.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Door not opened between cycles.
Drain hose extends into standpipe
farther than 4.5" (11.4 cm).
The drain hose is clogged or the
end of the drain hose is more than
96" (2.4 m) above the floor.
Strainer/nylon stocking on end of
drain hose.
The drain hose fits too tightly
in the standpipe or it is taped
to the standpipe.
Solution
After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based on
load size will be displayed and water will be added.
Door must be completely closed and latched for washer dryer
to run.
The washer dryer pauses for about 2 minutes during certain
cycles. Allow the cycle to continue. Some cycles feature peri-
ods of tumbling and soak.
Washer dryer may be stopped to reduce suds. Use only a
proper amount of HE detergent.
Cold Wash uses less water in the beginning of the cycle to
provide a high concentration of detergent for optimal cleaning
action. Following this concentrated tumbling, more water is
used to complete the wash.
During the first 20 minutes of the Clean Washer with affresh
cycle, it will activate the steamer but the drum will not spin or
fill with water. You may see condensation on the door glass
during this initial phase. If you are using an affresh Washer
Cleaner tablet, it will not dissolve completely during the steam
phase. This is normal.
The door must be closed during operation.
Make sure that the Load & Go bulk dispenser is fully seated
in the washer dryer, and that the lid on the bulk dispenser is
firmly closed.
Remove several items and rearrange load evenly in washer
dryer drum. Close door, then touch and hold START/PAUSE.
Do not add more than 1 or 2 additional items after cycle has
started to avoid tightly packing or unbalancing.
Do not add more water to the washer dryer.
Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents can
slow or stop the washer dryer. Always measure detergent, fol-
lowing manufacturer's directions based on your load require-
ments.
To remove suds, cancel cycle. Select DRAIN & SPIN with
EXTRA RINSE. Touch START/PAUSE. Do not add more
detergent.
Make sure the Load & Go bulk dispenser is disabled if you are
using a single dose of detergent.
After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be opened
and then closed before a new cycle can begin.
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form
and securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over
drain opening.
Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above
the floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose. See "Installation
Requirements" in Installation Instructions.
Remove strainer/nylon stocking from drain hose.
The drain hose should be loose, yet fit securely. Do not seal
the drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See
"Secure the Drain Hose" in Installation Instructions.
