The lid is not closed.
A cycle was stopped or paused using
the Start/Stop/Pause/Unlock Lid button.
The suds from too much detergent can keep washer from
operating correctly. Always measure detergent and follow
manufacturer's directions based on load size and soil level.
Use a higher soil level cycle option and warmer wash
temperature to improve cleaning.
Use Deep Clean cycle for tough cleaning. See the "Cycle
Guide" to match your load with the best cycle.
Use dispensers to avoid chlorine bleach and fabric
softener staining.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Do not add products directly onto load.
Wash like colors together and remove promptly after
the cycle is complete to avoid dye transfer.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser.
Use only fabric softener in the fabric softener dispenser.
Empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners
before washing to avoid snags and tears.
Tie all strings and straps before starting wash load.
Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket
wall. Load with dry items only.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has
started.
Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto load.
Wipe up bleach spills.
Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics. Do not use more
than recommended by manufacturer.
Do not place load items on top of bleach dispenser when
loading and unloading washer.
Always read and follow garment manufacturer's care label
instructions. See the "Cycle Guide" to match your load
with the best cycle.
See "Washer Care" in "Washer Maintenance."
Unload washer as soon as cycle is complete.
Be sure to measure correctly. Always follow the
manufacturer's directions.
See "Washer Care" section.
Close the lid. The washer will not start or fill with the
lid open.
The washer may still be spinning. The lid will not unlock
until the basket has stopped spinning. This may take
several minutes if washing large loads or heavy fabrics.
