SOLUTION
• Turn both faucets on fully.
• Make sure the temperature selection is correct.
• Make sure the hoses are connected to the correct faucets.
Flush water lines.
• Disconnect the hoses and clean the screens. The hose filter screens
may be plugged.
• As your Washer is filling, the water temperature may change as
the automatic temperature control feature checks incoming water
temperature. This is normal.
• While your Washer is filling, you may notice just hot and/or just
cold water going through the dispenser when you have selected
cold or warm wash temperatures. This is a normal function of the
automatic temperature control feature as your Washer determines the
temperature of the water.
• Press the Start/Pause Button to stop your Washer.
• It may take a few moments for the door lock mechanism to
disengage.
• Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• Straighten the drain hoses. Eliminate kinked hoses. If there is a drain
restriction, call for service.
• Close the door and press the Start/Pause Button. For your safety,
your Washer will not spin unless the door is closed.
• Use the High or Extra High spin speed.
• Use high efficiency detergent to reduce over–sudsing.
• The Load is too small. Very small loads (one or two items) may
become unbalanced and not spin out completely.
• Make sure all hose connections are tight.
• Make sure the end of the drain hose is correctly inserted and secured
to the drainage system.
• Avoid overloading.
• Use high efficiency detergent to prevent over–sudsing.
• Use high efficiency detergent to prevent over-sudsing.
• Reduce the detergent amount for soft water, small or lightly soiled
loads.
• Non-HE detergent is NOT recommended.
