nonabrasive household cleanser, then rinse.
Shake or brush excess dirt and sand from items
before washing.
1. Water may be removed by removing the
dispenser drawer and draining water into the
empty drum or sink.
1. Do not overload washer.
2. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance the load.
3. Rearrange load to allow proper spinning.
4. Straighten drain hose.
1. Check another faucet in the house. Wait until
water supply and pressure increase.
2. Fully open hot and cold faucets.
3. Water pressure must be at least 30 psi (260 kPa).
Avoid running water elsewhere while washer is
filling.
4. Straighten hoses.
5. Clean screens.
1. Measure hot water temperature at nearby
faucet with candy or meat thermometer. Water
temperature should be at least 120°F (49°C).
Adjust water heater as necessary.
2. Avoid using hot water elsewhere before or
during washer use. There may not be enough hot
water available for proper cleaning. If problem
persists, the hot water system may be unable to
support more than 1 use at a time.
1. Clean and straighten the drain hose.
2. Maximum standpipe height is 8' (2.4 m).
1. Check and tighten hose connections. Install
rubber sealing washers provided.
2. Unclog drain pipes. Contact plumber if
necessary.
1. Run rinse cycle. Use a low-sudsing, high
efficiency detergent.
2. Run rinse cycle. Use less detergent in
future loads.
1. Standpipe must be a minimum of 24" (61 cm)
high to prevent siphoning. See Installation
Section.
