power outage occurred?
y Is the temperature in the tub too high?
y Is the water level in washer high?
y Is the washing machine overloaded? Are other options
added to the wash cycle?

y Remove the load immediately after it finishes.
y Do not overload the tub.
y Hot water rinse can cause garments to wrinkle. Check
the inlet hose connections.
y Make sure that the plug is secured in a grounded
3-prong, 120 V (60 Hz) outlet.
y Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse. Do not
increase the fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit
overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
y The washing machine has a safety lock built into the
door to prevent burning. Leave the door closed and wait
until the door lock icon disappears from the display.
y Allow the washer to complete the programmed cycle,
or Press the SPIN button.
y This is normal. The washing machine automatically
adjusts the cycle time for the amount of laundry, water
pressure, water temperature, and other operating
conditions.
y Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent recommended
for a front-loading washing machine.
y See page 30, clean the inside and outside of the
washing machine periodically.
y Water hammer is not caused by a defect in the washer.
Install water hammer arrestors (purchased separately at
hardware or home improvement store) between the fill
hose and the washer for best results.
y Adjust household water supply regulator to a lower
pressure or contact a plumber to have a regulator
installed.
y Odor is from the rubber door gasket and seal. It will
eventually dissipate after first couple of wash cycles.
y Periodically clean the gasket. Mold and foreign substances
inside the gasket may produce mildew or musty smells.
y Clean the drain pump filter regularly. Foreign substances
on the drain pump filter may produce mildew or musty
smells.
y If the drain hose is not installed properly, the odor may be
emitted because of a backflow of drainage into the tub.
Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked or clogged.
