Cause . . .
There is an internal prob-
lem.
The spin speed selector
has been set to "Without
final spin".
The final spin has not
taken place. The machine
detected an imbalance.
The child-safety feature is
activated, and the pro-
gram has been changed.
The spin speed selected
was too low.
The load was not evenly
distributed in the drum,
and the laundry was spun
at a reduced speed to
protect the machine.
The drain pump or lint
trap is clogged.
The four feet are not rest-
ing evenly on the floor.
The shipping struts have
not been removed.
Remedy . . .
Restart the program. If
the indicator lamp starts
flashing again, call the
Service Dept.
Select a spin speed set-
ting.
– Redistribute the laun-
dry load.
– Select a spin speed.
– Turn the program se-
lector to "Spin".
Go back to the program
originally selected.
Select a higher spin
speed next time.
Mix large and small items
in a load to avoid imbal-
ance.
Clean the drain pump or
lint trap.
Level the machine (see
Installation Section).
Remove the shipping
struts.
