Hot water rinse can cause garments to
wrinkle. Check the inlet hose connections.
Power is not turned on

Is the power cord plugged in properly?

Has a house fuse blown, a circuit breaker
tripped, or a power outage occurred?
y
Make sure that the plug is secured in a
grounded 3-prong, 120 V (60 Hz) outlet.
y
Reset the circuit breaker or replace the
fuse. Do not increase the fuse capacity. If
the problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualified electrician.

the cycle pauses or finishes
y
Is the temperature in the tub too high?
y
Is the water level in the water high?

The washing machine has a safety lock built
into the door to prevent burning. Leave the
door closed and wait until the door lock icon
disappears from the display.

programmed cycle, or Press the Spin Speed

than usual
y
Is the washing machine overloaded? Are

automatically adjusts the cycle time for the
amount of laundry, water pressure, water
temperature, and other operating conditions.

y
Has the incorrect detergent been used?
y
Did you clean the tub periodically?

(purchased separately at hardware or home
improvement store) between the fill hose and
the washer for best results.

Adjust household water supply regulator to a
lower pressure or contact a plumber to have
a regulator installed.
