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).
Small items may have been caught
in pump or between basket and tub,
which can slow draining.
Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items.
Use a cycle with a low spin speed. Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle for your
garment. To remove extra water in the load, select Drain & Spin.
Load may need to be rearranged to allow even distribution of the
load in the basket.
The washer may be tightly packed or
unbalanced.
Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer
to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly
arrange the wet load for balanced spinning. Select the Drain &
Spin cycle to remove excess water. See “Using Your Washer” for
loading recommendations.
Check plumbing for correct drain
hose installation. Drain hose extends
into standpipe 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 traditional top-load
washers.
The high spin speeds combined with airow during the nal spin
can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots
during the nal spin. This is normal.
Incorrect or wrong
wash or rinse
temperatures.
Check for proper water supply. Check that 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. Check that 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.
Check that inlet valve screens are not 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.
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 2nd Rinse 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 using cycles with a higher-speed spin.
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.
