LEAKING
• Was the door opened during "Add a gar-
ment"?
Water can drip off the inside of the door, when
the door is opened after the start of a cycle.
• Is HE detergent being used?
The non-High Efficiency detergents can cause
oversudsing that can leak from the rear of the
washer.
• Are the fill hoses tight?
• Are the fill hose gaskets properly seated?
Check both ends of each hose. See "Connect
the Inlet Hoses."
• Is the drain hose properly installed?
The drain hose should be secured to the drainpipe
or laundry tub. See "Secure the Drain Hose."
• Is the sink or drain clogged?
Sink and drainpipe must be able to carry away
17 gal. (64 L) of water per minute. If clogged
or slow, water can back up out of drainpipe or
sink. Check household plumbing (laundry tubs,
faucets, drainpipe, water pipes) for leaks.
DISPENSER OPERATION
• Did you follow the manufacturer's directions
when adding detergent and fabric softener to
the dispensers?
Measure detergent and fabric softener. Slowly
pour into the dispensers. Wipe up all spills. Dilute
fabric softener in the fabric softener dispenser.
• Did you put powdered or liquid color-safe
bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach dis-
penser (on some models)?
Add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach directly
to the washer basket. Do not use the chlorine
bleach dispenser for color-safe bleach.
• Is the fabric softener dispenser clogged?
Clean the fabric softener dispenser. See "Washer
Care" for details.
• Are the laundry additives in the correct dis-
penser compartment?
Add the correct amounts of detergent, fabric
softener or liquid chlorine bleach to the correct
compartments. Add powdered or liquid color-safe
bleach to the Main Wash compartment.
• Is there water in the dispenser at the end of
the cycle?
A small amount of water will remain in the dis-
penser compartment. This is normal.
WASHER ODOR
• Have you run the Clean Washer Cycle
lately?
To freshen your washer and to avoid odors, see
"Cleaning The Washer."
• Are you using HE detergent?
Use of non-HE detergent can cause a film residue
which can result in odor.
• Did you leave the door open after use?
This washer has a tight seal to avoid water leaks.
To avoid odors leave the door open to allow the
washer to dry between uses.
DOOR WON'T UNLOCK
• Did all of the water drain out of the washer
during the spin?
Select DRAIN/SPIN to remove any water remain-
ing in the washer. The washer door will unlock
at the end of the drain.
• Is the door locked and is the "Add a garment"
light on?
Press PAUSE/CANCEL once. The door will un-
lock.
