Was the cycle interrupted and then the Deep Clean option

drainpipe, water pipes) for leaks.
Dispenser operation
Are the laundry additives in the correct dispensers?
Add the correct amounts of detergent (powdered or liquid),
liquid chlorine bleach, or fabric softener to the correct
dispenser. You can add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach
to the detergent dispenser. Be sure to match powdered
color-safe bleach with powdered detergent or match liquid
color-safe bleach with liquid detergent. Use only liquid
chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser.
Is there water remaining in the bottom of a dispenser?
Did the dispenser drain properly?
A small amount of water may be left in a dispenser at the end
of the cycle. This is normal.
Did you put powdered or liquid color-safe bleach into the
liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models)?
Add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach directly to the
washer basket. Do not use the chlorine bleach dispenser for
color-safe bleach.
Is the fabric softener dispenser clogged?
Clean the fabric softener dispenser. See "Washer Care."

The lid must be closed during operation. The washer will not
operate with the lid open.
