Possible Causes
Washer not level.
Fill hoses not attached tightly.
Fill hose washers.
Drain hose connection.
Check household plumbing for leaks
or clogged sink or drain.
Washer not loaded as
recommended.
Load not completely covered
in water.
Check for proper water supply.
Check proper electrical supply.
Water may splash off basket if washer is not level. Check that
load is not unbalanced or tightly packed.
Tighten fill-hose connection.
Make sure all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated.
Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to
drainpipe or laundry tub.
Do not place tape over drain opening.
Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all
household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water
pipes, and faucets.)
Improper loading can cause basket to be out of alignment
and cause water to splash off tub. See "Using Your Washer"
for loading instructions.
This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load
will not be completely under water. The washer senses load
sizes and adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning.
Use Bulky Items/Sheets or Deep Water Wash cycle for higher
water fill. See "What's New under the Lid" and "Cycle Guide" to
match your load with the best cycle.
IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. Adding water
lifts the items off the washplate, resulting in less effective
cleaning.
Run Clean Washer with affresh
and wash performance due to soil build-up in washer basket.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to
inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be turned on.
Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged.
Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow.
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.
