TROUBLESHOOTING
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
The following sounds may be heard while the wash-
er is operating. They are normal.
CLICKING:
Lid lock relay when the lid locks and unlocks.
SPRAYING OR HISSING:
Water spraying or circulating during the cycle.
HUMMING OR GURGLING:
Drain pump is pumping water from the washer at
times during a cycle.
WATER SLOSHING SOUND:
A liquid in the balance ring around the wash basket
helps the basket spin smoothly.
SOUND OF WATER BEING ADDED AFTER
THE WASHER HAS ALREADY BEEN IN
OPERATION
y The washer adapts to the load size and type to
add more water to the cycle as needed.
y The wash load may be unbalanced. If the washer
senses that the load is unbalanced, it will stop and
refill to redistribute the load.
y The washer may be diluting laundry additives to
add to the wash load.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Your washing machine is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose prob-
lems at an early stage. If your washer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the fol-
lowing before you call for service:
Problem Possible Cause Solutions
Rattling and clanking
noise
Foreign objects, such as keys,
coins, or safety pins may be in tub .
Stop washer, check tub for foreign objects. If noise
continues after washer is restarted, call for service.
Thumping sound Heavy wash loads may produce a
thumping sound.
This is normal. If sound continues, washer is probably
out of balance. Stop and redistribute wash load.
Wash load may be out of balance. Pause the cycle and redistribute the load after the lid
unlocks.
Vibrating noise Packaging materials were not re-
moved.
See the Unpacking and Removing Shipping Material
section in the installation requirements section.
Wash load may be unevenly dis-
tributed in the tub.
Pause the cycle and redistribute the load after the lid
unlocks.
Not all leveling feet are resting
firmly and evenly on the floor.
See Leveling the Washer in the Installation Instructions
section.
Floor not rigid enough. Make sure that the floor is solid and does not flex. See
Flooring in the Installation Requirements section.
Water leaking Inlet hose connection is loose at
faucet, washer, or Y-connector.
Check hoses and Y-connectors for leaks, cracks and
splits.
Check and tighten hose connections.
House drain pipes are clogged. The washer pumps out water very rapidly. Check for
water backing up out of the drain pipe during drain. If
water is seen coming out of the drain, check for proper
drain hose installation and check for restrictions in the
drain. Contact a plumber to repair drain pipe.
Drain hose has come out of drain
connector or is not inserted far
enough.
Tie drain hose to inlet hose or standpipe to prevent it
from coming out during drain. For smaller drain pipes,
insert the drain hose into the pipe as far as the drain
hose flange. For larger drain pipes, insert the drain
hose into the pipe 1-2 inches past the flange.
Load is too large for the tub. Reduce the load or use the full-size washing machine.
Use the BULKY/BEDDING cycle on the front-loading
washer for large or bulky items.
Stop the washer and check the load. Make sure the
load fits loosely in the tub and the lid closes easily.
