TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here
for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible Causes
Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
Ensure there is power to outlet.
Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.
NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Lid must be closed for washer to run.
Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle. Do not
interrupt cycle.
Washer may be stopped to reduce suds.
The washer senses the dry load with short spins that may take
2 to 3 minutes before water is added. You may hear the hum of
the spins. This is normal.
Remove several items, rearrange load evenly in basket. Close lid
and press START/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID.
Do not add more than 1 or 2 additional garments after cycle
has started.
Do not add more water to the washer.
Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents can
slow or stop the washer. Always measure detergent and follow
detergent directions based on your load requirements.
To remove suds, cancel cycle. Select Rinse/Spin. Press START/
PAUSE/UNLOCK LID. Do not add more detergent.
Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket
and tub, which can slow draining.
Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your garment. To remove extra water in the load, select
Drain & Spin. Load may need to be rearranged to allow even
distribution of the load in the basket.
Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer
to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly
arrange the wet load for balanced spinning. Select the Drain &
Spin cycle to remove excess water. See "Using Your Washer"
for loading recommendations.
