Possible Causes
Did you remove the load immediately after it finished?
Did you overload the tub?
Did you reverse the hot and cold water inlets?
Is the power cord plugged in properly?
Has a house fuse blown, a circuit breaker tripped, or a
power outage occurred?
Is the temperature in the tub too high?
Is the water level in washer high?
Is the washing machine overloaded? Are other options
added to the wash cycle?
Has the incorrect detergent been used?
Did you clean the tub periodically?
Plumbing in the home moves or flexes when the water
valves in the washer shut off.
Household water supply pressure is very high.
This odor is caused by the rubber attached to the
washing machine.
If the rubber door gasket and door seal area
are not cleaned regularly, odors can occur from
mold or foreign substances.
Odors can occur if foreign substances are left in
the drainage pump filter.
Odors can occur if the drainage hose is not
properly installed, causing siphoning (water
flowing back inside the washing machine).
Using the dry function, odors can occur from lint
and other laundry matter sticking to the heater.
(Dryer model only)
A particular odor can occur from drying wet
clothes with hot air. (Dryer model only)

Solutions
Remove the load immediately after it finishes.
Do not overload the tub.
Hot water rinse can cause garments to wrinkle. Check
the inlet hose connections.
Make sure that the plug is secured in a grounded
3-prong, 120 V (60 Hz) outlet.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse. Do not
increase the fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit
overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
The washing machine has a safety lock built into the
door to prevent burning. Leave the door closed and wait
until the door lock icon disappears from the display.
Allow the washer to complete the programmed cycle,
or Press the SPIN button.
This is normal. The washing machine automatically
adjusts the cycle time for the amount of laundry, water
pressure, water temperature, and other operating
conditions.
Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent recommended
for a front-loading washing machine.
See page 30, clean the inside and outside of the
washing machine periodically.
Water hammer is not caused by a defect in the washer.
Install water hammer arrestors (purchased separately at
hardware or home improvement store) between the fill
hose and the washer for best results.
Adjust household water supply regulator to a lower
pressure or contact a plumber to have a regulator
installed.
It is the normal odor of new rubber and will disappear
after the machine has been run a few times.
Be sure to clean the gasket and door seal regularly
and check under the door seal for small items
when unloading the washer.
Be sure to clean the drainage pump filter regularly.
When installing the drainage hose, be sure that it
doesn't become kinked or blocked.
This is not a malfunction.
The odor will disappear after a short while.
