for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible Causes
The door will lock unlock and lock again. You will hear three
clicks after pushing START/PAUSE. This is normal.
Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins
could fall between basket and tub or may block pump.
It may be necessary to call for service to remove items.
It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps,
buckles, or zippers touch against the stainless steel basket.
It is normal to hear the pump making a humming sound with
periodic gurgling or surging as final amounts of water are removed
during the spin/drain cycles.
Tighten fill-hose connection.
Make sure all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated.
Check that the drain hose is properly secured to drainpipe or
laundry tub.
Water can backup out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all
household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water
pipes, and faucets.)
Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents can
cause leaking from the door or rear of cabinet. Always measure
detergent and follow manufacturer's directions based on your
load requirements.
Water can drip off the inside of the door when the door is
opened after the start of a cycle.
Periodically clean the underside of the glass window to avoid
potential leaks.
This is normal for an HE front load washer. The washer senses load
sizes and adds the correct amount of water for optimal cleaning.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to
inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be turned on.
Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged.
Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow.
