Vacation, Storage,

and Moving Care

Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because

some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your

washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather,

winterize it.

Non-use or vacation care

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on

vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time,

you should:

Unplug washer or disconnect power.

Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid

accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you

are away.

To winterize washer

1. Shut off both water faucets.

2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.

3. Put 1 quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket.

4. Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see "Drain and Spin")

for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water.

5. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

To use washer again

1. Flush water pipes and hoses.

2. Reconnect water inlet hoses.

3. Turn on both water faucets.

4. Plug in washer or reconnect power.

5. Run the washer through a complete cycle with 1 cup (250 mL)

of detergent to clean out antifreeze.

TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid

the cost of a service call...

Washer won't fill, rinse or agitate

Check the following:

Is the power cord plugged in?

Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined up

with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right slightly

and pull to start.

Are the water inlet valve screens clogged?

Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on?

Is the water inlet hose kinked?

Does the water level seem too low, or does the washer

appear to not fill completely?

The top of the agitator is much higher than the highest water

level. This creates a perception that the washer is not filling

completely. This is normal.

Washer stops

Check the following:

Is the power cord plugged in?

Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined up

with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right slightly

and pull to start.

Are the water inlet valve screens clogged?

Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on?

Is the water inlet hose kinked?

Is there power at the plug?

Check your electrical source or call an electrician.

Has a fuse blown or is the circuit breaker open?

If problem continues, call an electrician.

Are you using an extension cord?

Do not use an extension cord.

Is the washer in a normal pause in the Permanent Press

(or Hand Washables) cycle?

The washer pauses for about 2 minutes in the Permanent

Press cycle. Allow the cycle to continue.

The Hand Washables cycle (on some models) features

periods of agitation and soak.

Is the washer overloaded?

Wash smaller loads.

Washer won't drain or spin

Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose

more than 72 inches (183 cm) above the floor?

See the Installation Instructions for proper installation of drain

hose.

Is the lid open?

The lid must be closed during operation.

Is there excessive sudsing?

Always measure detergent. Follow manufacturer's directions.

If you have very soft water, you might need to use less

detergent.

Is your voltage low?

Check your electrical source or call an electrician. Do not use

an extension cord.

Washer continues to fill or drain, or the cycle seems stuck

Is the top of drain hose lower than the water level in

washer?

The top of the hose must be higher than the water level in the

washer for proper operation. See the Installation Instructions.

Does the drain hose fit too tightly in the standpipe, or is it

taped to the standpipe?

The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not seal

the drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See the

Installation Instructions.
