Solutions
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.
