Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket

Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your garment.
A tightly packed load may not allow the washer to spin correctly,
leaving the load wetter than normal.
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.
Suds from regular detergent or using too much detergent
can slow or stop draining or spinning. Use only HE detergent.
Always measure and follow detergent directions for your
load. To remove extra suds, select RINSE & SPIN. Do not
add detergent.
Check that hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet,
and have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.
Energy Star washers use cooler wash and rinse water
temperatures than your previous washer. This includes

Check that hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the
inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.

to operate incorrectly.
