If You Need Service Or Assistance
We suggest you follow
these five steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from
little things you can find and fix yourself
without tools of any kind.
If your washer does not fill:
l
Is the power supply cord plugged into
a live circuit with the proper voltage?
l
Are both water faucets open?
l
Have you checked your home's main
fuses or circuit breaker box?
l
Are the water supply hoses kinked?
l
Is the Cycle Control Knob set and
pulled out?
If your washer does not spin:
l
Is the lid closed?
l
Is the power supply cord plugged into
a live circuit with the proper voltage?
l
Have you checked your home's main
fuses or circuit breaker box?
If your washer fills and drains
without running:
l
The drain hose should be at least 26
inches above the floor and secured.
l
The drain hose should not fit tightly in
the drain pipe.
l
Make sure that the Cycle Control
Knob is pointing to a number in the
cycle.
Make sure the drain hose is higher
than the water level in the washer.
If it isn't:
l
The washer may seem to be draining
during wash and rinse cycles.
l
Water can siphon out.
(See Installation Instructions.)
If your washer stops during
a cycle:
l

at different times in each cycle. These
pauses are normal.

circuit with the proper voltage?

or 2 fuses. If one fuse is blown, the
