Before Calling Service
SOLUTION
Do not overload washer. See Washing Guide for
details.
Rearrange load to allow proper spin.
Straighten drain hose.
Check water pressure at another faucet in house.
Wait for water supply and pressure to increase.
Fully open hot and cold water supply faucets.
Water pressure must be at least 20 psi (138 kPa).
Avoid running water elsewhere when washer is
filling.
Disconnect water fill hoses from faucet. Clean and
reposition screen filters. Reconnect water fill hoses.
Straighten hoses.
Select higher water level/load size. Add water by
turning selector to RESET and back to larger load
size.
Do not overload washer. Largest dry load level
should not be higher than bottom of fabric softener
dispenser or top of agitator.
Use candy/meat thermometer to measure hot water
temperature at nearby faucet. Water temperature
should be at least 140°F (60°C). Adjust water heater
as necessary.
Avoid using hot water elsewhere before or during
washer use, or there may not be enough hot water
for proper cleaning. If problem continues, enlarge
capacity of hot water system, or use for only one
application at a time.
Clean and straighten drain hose.
Check and tighten all hose/faucet connections.
Install rubber sealing washers provided.
Unclog drain pipes. Call plumber if necessary.
Always use RESET on water level switch when
changing water level. Do not hold switch at RESET;
return switch to desired load size.
Use less detergent.
Check hose connections. Connect hot water hose to
hot water faucet; connect cold water hose to cold
water faucet.
Recommended standpipe height is 36" (91.44 cm);
for low standpipes, install Siphon Break Kit (part
#562P3). See Installation Instructions for details.
