washer/dryer must be level to operate properly. Jam nuts must
be tight against the bottom of the cabinet.

(19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer/dryer will reduce
sound.
See "Level the Washer/Dryer" in Installation Instructions.
Load dry items in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.
Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket
could unbalance washer.
Do not tightly pack. Avoid washing single items.
See "Cycle Guide" and "Using Your Washer" in this Use and
Care Guide.
Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins
could fall between basket and tub or may block pump.
It may be necessary to call for service to remove items.
It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps,
buckles, or zippers touch against the stainless steel basket.
It is normal to hear the pump making a continuous humming
sound with periodic gurgling or surging as final amounts of
water are removed during the Spin cycle.
You may hear the hum of the sensing spins after you have
started the washer. This is normal. Sensing spins will take
several minutes before water is added to the washer.
Check the following for Washer not level. Water may splash off basket if washer is not level. Check that
proper installation: load is not unbalanced or tightly packed.

all household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe,
water pipes, and faucets.)
Improper loading can cause basket to be out of alignment
and cause water to splash off tub. See "Using Your Washer"
for loading instructions.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to
