POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION
• Heavily soiled items. Wipe drum with a nonabrasive
household cleanser, then rinse. Shake or brush excess dirt
and sand from items before washing.
• This is a result of the siphoning action and is part of the
normal operation of the washer. Water may be removed by
removing the dispenser drawer and draining water into the
empty drum or sink.
• Washer is overloaded. Do not overload washer. See Washing
Procedures.
• Load is too small. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance
the load.
• Load is out of balance. Rearrange load to allow proper
spinning.
• Drain hose is kinked. Straighten drain hose.
• Water supply is not adequate in area. Check another faucet
in the house. Wait until water supply and pressure
increase.
• Water supply faucets are not completely open. Fully open
hot and cold faucets.
• Water is being used elsewhere in the house. Water
pressure must be at least 30 psi (260 kPa). Avoid running
water elsewhere while washer is filling.
• Water inlet hoses are kinked. Straighten hoses.
• Water inlet screens plugged. Clean screens.
• Hot water heater is set too low or is a distance from washer.
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.
• Hot water is being used elsewhere in the house. Avoid using
hot water elsewhere before or during washer use. There may
not be enough hot water available for proper cleaning. If
problem persists, your hot water system may be unable to
support more than 1 use at a time.
• Drain hose is kinked or clogged. Clean and straighten the
drain hose.
• Maximum standpipe height is 8' (2.4 m).
• Fill hose connection is loose at faucet or washer. Check and
tighten hose connections. Install rubber sealing washers
provided.
• House drain pipes are clogged. Unclog drain pipes. Contact
plumber if necessary.
• Wrong detergent. Run rinse cycle. Use a low-sudsing, high
efficiency detergent.
• Too much detergent. Run rinse cycle. Use less detergent in
future loads
