TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

Washer not draining/

spinning, loads are

still wet or spin light

remains on (indicating

that the washer was

unable to pump out

water within ten

minutes)

Dry spots on load

after cycle

Incorrect or wrong

wash or rinse

temperatures

Empty pockets and use garment bags

Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket

for small items,

and tub, which can slow draining.

Use a cycle with a low spin speed.

The washer may be tightly packed

or unbalanced.

Check plumbing for correct drain

hose installation. Drain hose extends

into standpipe farther than 114 mm

(4.5").

Wrong or too much detergent

causing suds to slow or stop

draining and spinning.

High speed spins extract more

moisture than traditional top-load

washers.

Check for proper water supply.

Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles

with high spin speeds. Use the recommended

cycle/speed

spin

for your garment. To remove extra water in the load, select

DRAIN & SPIN. Load may need to be rearranged to allow even

distribution of the load in the basket.

Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer

to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly

arrange the wet load for balanced spinning. Select DRAIN &

SPIN to remove excess water. See "Using Your Washer" for

loading recommendations.

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 1.25 m (4')

above the floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose.

Use only HE detergent. Always measure and follow detergent

directions for your load. To remove extra suds, select RINSE &

SPIN. Do not add detergent.

The high spin speeds combined with air flow during the final

spin can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry

spots during the final spin. This is normal.

Energy-saving controlled

wash temperatures.

Load not rinsed

Check for proper water supply.

Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.

Not using HE detergent or using too

much HE detergent.

Washer may be tightly packed.

Make sure 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 Efficient washers use cooler wash and rinse water

temperatures

than traditional top-load washers. This includes

cooler hot and warm washes.

Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the

inlet valve.

Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.

Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged.

Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.

The suds from regular detergent can keep washer

from operating correctly.

Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.

Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions

based on load size and soil level.

The washer is less efficient at rinsing when load is tightly

packed.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.

not load garments directly over the center of the washplate.

Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.

Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
