Touch the START/PAUSE button firmly.
Clean the drain pump filter. See "Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter/

and make sure it is properly seated.
There may be two household fuses or circuit breakers for the
washer. Check that both fuses are intact and tight, or that both
circuit breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuses or reset the
circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Electric dryers require 240 V power supply. Check with
a qualified electrician.
Use a time-delay fuse.
Connect the water supply to the washer and turn it on.
The drying cycle will not run unless the water supply is
connected and turned on.
Select drying function (see Step 10 in "Using Your Washer").
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects.
Clean out pockets before laundering.
The washer may vibrate if not properly installed. See Installation
Instructions. All four washer feet should be in firm contact with
the floor.
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the washer to
vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the washer.
Loading drum half full or less will improve drying performance.
Separate the load to tumble freely. Loading drum half full or

or use the Wrinkle Shield ™ option (see "Using Your Washer").
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Loading drum half full
or less will improve drying performance and cycle time. Results
may also vary depending on fabric type.
Allow the drying cycle to complete the cool-down portion of the
cycle before removing the load. If you cancel the cycle before
the cool-down portion of the cycle and immediately remove the
load, it will be very hot.
