breaker tripped, or a power outage
occurred?

high?

high?

Are other options added to the wash
cycle?
y Has the incorrect detergent been
used?

MAINTENANCE
Solutions
y Remove the load immediately after
it finishes.
y Do not overload the tub.
y Hot water rinse can cause garments
to wrinkle. Check the inlet hose
connections.
y Make sure that the plug is secured
in a grounded 3-prong, 120 V (60 Hz)
outlet.
y Reset the circuit breaker or replace
the fuse. Do not increase the fuse
capacity. If the problem is a circuit
overload, have it corrected by a
qualified electrician.
y The washing machine has a safety
lock built into the door to prevent
burning. Leave the door closed
and wait until the door lock icon
disappears from the display.
y Allow the washer to complete the
programmed cycle, or press the
SPIN button.
y This is normal. The washing
machine automatically adjusts the
cycle time for the amount of laundry,
water pressure, water temperature,
and other operating conditions.
y Use only HE (High-Efficiency)
detergent recommended for a front-
loading washing machine.
y See page 30, clean the inside and
outside of the washing machine
periodically.
y Water hammer is not caused by a
defect in the washer. Install water
hammer arrestors (purchased
separately at hardware or home
improvement store) between the
fill hose and the washer for best
results.
y Adjust household water supply
regulator to a lower pressure
or contact a plumber to have a
regulator installed.
