TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience Possible causes Solution
Washer Not Performing As Expected (cont.)
Washer not draining/
spinning, loads are
still wet or spin light remains
on (indicating that the
washer was
unable to pump out water
within 10 minutes) (cont.)
Check plumbing for correct drain hose
installation. Drain hose extends into stand-
pipe farther than 4.5" (114 mm).
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 96" (2.4 m) above the oor.
Remove any clogs from drain hose.
Too much detergent causing suds to slow
or stop draining and spinning.
Always measure and follow detergent directions for your load.
To remove extra suds, select Rinse/Spin. Do not add detergent.
Dry spots on load
after cycle
High speed spins extract more
moisture than your previous washer.
The high spin speeds combined with air ow during the nal spin can
cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots
during the nal spin. This is normal.
Washer may be tightly packed. Use Bulky/Bedding or Jeans/Towels cycle for higher water ll,
or set Water Level knob to Deep Fill setting. See “Cycle Guide”
to match your load with the best cycle.
Added extra garments to the load after
the sensing/ll phase.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
Incorrect or wrong
wash or rinse
temperatures
Check for proper water supply. 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 owing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.
Energy saving controlled
wash temperatures.
This washer uses cooler wash and rinse water temperatures
than traditional top-load washers. This includes cooler hot and warm
washes.
Load not rinsed Check for proper water supply. Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached and have water owing 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.
Not using HE detergent or using too much
HE detergent.
The suds from too much detergent or use of non-HE detergent can
keep washer from operating correctly. Always measure detergent
and follow detergent directions based on load size and soil level.
Always use HE detergent.
Washer not loaded as recommended. The washer is less ecient at rinsing when load is tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Load with dry items only.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
Use Bulky/Bedding or Jeans/Towels cycle for higher water ll,
or set Water Level knob to Deep Fill setting. See “Cycle Guide”
to match your load with the best cycle.
Sand, pet hair, lint,
etc. on load after
washing
Heavy sand, pet hair, lint, and
detergent or bleach residues may require
additional rinsing.
Add a second rinse to the selected cycle and/or use the Heavy Soil Level
setting or Deep Fill option.
Load is tangling Washer not loaded as recommended. See “Using Your Washer” section.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed;
however, items will be wetter than those using a higher speed spin. Use
Bulky/Bedding or Jeans/Towels cycle for higher water ll, or set Water
Level knob to Deep Fill setting. See the “Cycle Guide” to match your load
with the best cycle.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the
recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.
