Possible Causes
Feet may not be in contact with the
floor and locked.
Washer may not be level.
Load could be unbalanced.
Objects may be caught in washer drain
system.
Washer may be draining water.
Load sensing may be occurring.
Basket may be slowing down.
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.
Front and rear feet must be in firm contact with floor, and washer
must be level to operate properly. See "Installation Instructions".
Check floor for flexing or sagging. If flooring is uneven, a ¾"
(19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.
See "Level the Washer" in Installation Instructions.
Load items in loose heaps evenly around the agitator. Adding
wet items to washer or adding more water to basket could
unbalance washer.
Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug or
jeans jacket with a few extra items. Redistribute the load, close the
lid, and touch and hold START/PAUSE.
Use Bedding cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items such as
jackets and small comforters.
Item or load not suitable for selected cycle. See "Cycle Guide" and
"Using Your Washer" in this Use and Care Guide.
Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins could fall
between basket and tub or may block pump. It may be necessary to
call for service to remove items.
It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps,
buckles, or zippers touch against the stainless steel basket.
It is normal to hear the pump making a continuous humming sound
with periodic gurgling or surging as final amounts of water are
removed during the spin/drain cycles.
You may hear the hum of the sensing spins after you have started
the washer. This is normal.
You may hear the whirring sound of the basket decelerating.
This is normal.
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 backup out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all
household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water pipes,
and faucets.)
Unbalanced 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 Auto Sensing Water Level mode.
The load will not be completely under water. The washer senses
load sizes and adds the correct amount of water for optimal cleaning
performance in High Efficiency operation. See "What's New under
the Lid.".
Run clean washer cycle to optimize the water level and wash
performance.
