sure that household water pressure is
adequate.
• Make sure that the plug is plugged securely
into a grounded, 3-prong, 120-VAC, 60-Hz.

• 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

• If the door is closed and locked and the open
door error message is displayed, call for

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.

automatically to provide optimal results for the
selected cycle.
• Run the TUB CLEAN cycle regularly. Be sure
to wipe around and under the door seal
frequently.
