The following symptoms are not trouble.

Symptoms	Causes
Machine begins filling water in the middle of the wash.	When the laundry amount is large at the HIGH water level, the machine sometimes fills automatically. When level goes down, the machine fills automatically.
The water level is too high for the amount of laundry being washed.	When the laundry is already soaked with water before the wash is started, or if there is water in the tub before the wash is started, the water level will sometimes be higher.
The water level is too low for the amount of laundry being washed.	With light laundry made of synthetic or blended fabric, the water level will sometimes be lower.
Midway during spinning, the operation suddenly changes to rinsing.	When the laundry is unbalanced during spin, rinsing and automatic correction of unbalanced laundry will begin. Later spinning will return to normal condition.
Water does not flow through the lint filter. Double Cascade does not operate.	When the water level is set to very low, water sometimes will not flow through the lint filter. Double Cascade does not operate when these settings have been selected.
Softener spills out from softener drawer	Keep the level of the softener indicated to prevent the softener from flowing immediately. If you close the softener drawer forcefully, softener may spill out of the drawer.
During draining, the laundry and the spinner rotates with irregular movements.	To suppress soap suds build-up, the washing tub turns slowly and quickly.
The buttons do not work	Only the [WATER LEVEL] button is available after the machine begins washing. To change the setting, press the [START/HOLD] button or press the [POWER OFF/ON] button and reconfigure the setting.
If you start with the rinse cycle, the tub is not filled with water.	When there is water in the tub, the operation starts with the draining. After spin cycle is finished, the tub will be filled with water.
The unit does not run at all.	Check if there is power failure. Check if the power fuse has blown out or the breaker is actuated. Check if the power plug is plugged in thoroughly. Check if the "Power" switch has been pressed. Has the water faucet been turned on? Check if the [START/HOLD] button has been pressed. Has the machine been programmed under [RESERVE] timer?
Machine begins filling water in the middle of the wash.	When the laundry amount is large at the HIGH water level, the machine sometimes fills automatically. When level goes down, the machine fills automatically.
Water is not supplied.	Check if the water faucet is turned on. Is the water supply cut off? Check if the connection of the water supply hose is clogged with dirt. Check if the lid is opened. Close the lid.
Washing operation still continue even though the expected finishing time had passed on Reserve Program.	Washing time will be longer because of laundry unbalance, water feeding and draining condition.
Buzzer sounds followed by a draining when opening the lid during wash and rinse.	In the case when open the lid after setting the [CHILD LOCK] mode, it will force the draining process. Pull out power plug from the outlet and replug it after 5 seconds.
Tub shaking with the sound of water.	This is the sound of the liquid to maintain the balance during spinning.
Water supply failure.	Normally after the water supply failure, the water will become muddy. Detach the water feeding hose and turn on the water faucet to release to due muddy water. Fix water hose and start washing.
