Possible Causes
Check proper electrical supply.
Normal washer operation.
Washer may be tightly packed.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Empty pockets and use garment bags
for small items.
Using cycles with a lower spin speed.
Washer may be tightly packed or
unbalanced.
Check plumbing for correct drain
hose installation. Drain hose extends into
standpipe farther than 4.5" (114 mm).
Plug power cord into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
Ensure there is power to outlet.
Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.
NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Lid must be closed for washer to run.
Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle.
Do not interrupt cycle.
Washer may be stopped to reduce suds.
Remove several items, rearrange load evenly around the
washplate. Do not load garments directly over the center
of the wash plate. Close lid and press START/PAUSE.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
Do not add more water to the washer.
Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents can slow or
stop the washer. Always measure detergent and following detergent
directions based on your load requirements.
To remove suds, cancel cycle. Select RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN. Select
your cycle. Press START/PAUSE. Do not add more detergent.
Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket and
tub, which can slow draining.
Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles with
high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin for your
garment.
Tightly packed loads may not allow the washer to spin correctly,
leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange the wet load for
balanced spinning. Select RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN to remove excess
water. See "Using Your Washer" for loading recommendations.
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form and
securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over drain opening.
Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above the floor.
Remove any clogs from drain hose.
