POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
Make sure controls are properly set and washer cycle selector is pulled out or dryer
START button is pushed.
No power to appliance. Check fuses and circuit breakers to make sure appliance is
getting current.
Dryer door is open. Dryer will not run with door open. Make sure washer lid is closed.
Washer will fill but will not spin with lid open.
. Make sure both hot and cold faucets are turned on.
Kinked or pinched hose. Check and correct.
Top of drain outlet should be less than 8 feet above the floor.
Make sure hose connections are tight at faucets.
Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inserted into and secured to drain facility.
Lid not closed. Washer will not progress through spin cycle with lid up. Make sure lid
is closed. Lid will be automatically locked during spin portion for safety.
Load may have been excessively out of balance. Redistribute clothes and rerun through
final spin.
. Metallic "clicks" heard as timer advances during operation are normal.
Uneven floor. Make sure appliance is level and firm to floor.
Heavily unbalanced loads can cause the washer to vibrate excessively during spin, and
may cause it to move from its original position. In extreme cases, (usually occurs when
washing a single, heavy item or a small load when water level is set higher than
necessary) the spin basket may strike the outer tub, creating aloud but harmless noise.
To correct, open the lid and redistribute the load evenly about the wash basket. Close the
lid and restart.
Faucets turned off. Make sure faucets are on and adjusted correctly.
. Hoses kinked. Check and correct.
Clogged screen in water valve. Unscrew fill hose from washer and clean screen if
necessary. When reassembling, make hand tight plus 1/3 turn with pliers.
