What to Do
• Make sure hose connections are tight at taps
and make sure end of drain hose is correctly
inserted in and secured to drain facility.
• Check household plumbing. You may need
to call a plumber.
• Tighten hoses at the taps and turn the water
off after each use.
• Check condition of the fill hoses; they may
need replacement after 5 years.
• Make sure washer is level and firm
to the floor.
• Push the Cycle knob in to stop the
washer, open the lid and redistribute
the load evenly. Close the lid and restart.
• Remove the shipping rod on the bottom
right side of the washer just before sliding
the washer in place. Do not use the washer
with the shipping rod in place.
• There will be a gurgling, "sucking" sound
prior to the spin cycle. This is normal and
will stop as soon as the machine goes into
the spin cycle.
• Make sure the cycle selected matches the
load you are washing.
