TROUBlESHOOTING

Washer does not operate:
• Check if unit is plugged in. The plug may have come loose.
• Check if the electrical wall outlet is of proper voltage.
• Check if the circuit breaker needs to be reset or if the fuse needs to be
replaced.
• Check if the unit is in "Off" or "Pause" mode.
• Check if the washer is overloaded: load may need to be re-balanced and
clothes may need to be redistributed.
• Check if the door is open. You may have to close the door properly.
• Check if the control knob is set properly. You may have to adjust the control
knob.
• The washer pauses in some cycles. This is normal in delicate or hand-washable
cycle, which has short soak period where your clothes are being soaked for
very short period of time. You will not hear washer operation for a short period
of time. When the soak time is over, it will start automatically.
Problems with water:
• Not enough water coming out: Water faucet may need to be turned on fully.
Water hoses may be tangled up or wrinkled up. Straighten up hoses.
• Water temperature is incorrect: Check your water heater temperature. Hot
water needs to be at a temperature at least 120˚F -140˚F (49˚C – 60˚C).
Check to make sure the inlet hoses are properly connected. (e.g. hot to hot &
cold to cold)
• Water leaks: This is due to not properly installing drain hose or fill hoses. Your
home drain may be clogged or having constant water pressure. You may need
to tighten hoses; check the plumbing or call a plumber.
• Water will not drain: This is due to not installing your drain hose properly.
You may need to connect the drain hose properly. Check the position of the
drain hose. In order to drain properly, make sure that top of drain outlet is less
than 2'6" above the floor.
Washer is making noise:
• Washer may need to be reinstalled. (Check washer installation section.)
• Washer load may need to be re-balanced, as the load may be uneven.
• Coins, loose change, buttons or other heavy objects could make noise
(read Operating Guide – Normal Operating Sounds).
• Squealing Sound: Due to overloaded wash tub.
• Vibration Noise: Due to not leveling washer properly on the floor and uneven
distribution of clothes in the tub.
