TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Washer not performing as expected (cont�)
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 your
previous washer. 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.
Using too much detergent. The suds from too much detergent can keep washer from operating
correctly. Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions
based on load size and soil level.
Washer not loaded as recommended. The washer is less efcient 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.
Using too low a load size/water level
selection.
Choose a load size (water level) that matches the load being washed.
Sand, pet hair, lint, etc.
on load after washing
Heavy sand, pet hair, lint, and
detergent or bleach residues may
require additional rinsing.
Add an Extra Rinse (on some models) to the selected cycle.
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. See the
“Cycle Guide” to match your load with the best cycle.
