Non-use or vacation care
Operate your laundry center only when you are at home. If you
will be on vacation or not using your laundry center for an
extended period of time, you should:
• Unplug laundry center or disconnect power.
• Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid
accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you
are away.
To transport the laundry center
1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet
hoses. Place the inlet hoses into the basket.
2. If laundry center will be moved during freezing weather, put in
1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket. Run washer on
a spin setting for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and
water
3. Disconnect the drain from the drain system.
4. Unplug laundry center or disconnect power.
5. Disconnect the exhaust vent.
6. If your laundry center is a gas model, close shutoff valve in
gas supply line, disconnect gas supply line pipe and remove
fittings attached to the laundry center pipe.
7. Wash lint screen.
8. Drape the power cord and drain hose over edge and in the
basket.
9. Make sure leveling legs are secure. Use masking tape to
secure the washer lid and dryer door.
Reinstalling your laundry center
• Are the gears engaging after the drain and before spin, or
is the upper part of agitator clicking during wash? These
are normal washer noises.
Leaking
• Checkthe following:
Are the fill hoses tight?
Are the fill hose washers properly seated?
Is the drain hose clamp properly installed? See the
Installation Instructions.
Is the sink or drain clogged? Sink and standpipe must be
able to handle 17 gal. (64 L) of water per minute.
Is water deflecting off the tub ring or the load? Center the
tub before starting the washer. The wash load should be
balanced and not overloaded. The fill or spray rinses can
deflect off the load. The laundry center must be level. Ensure
that the leveling legs are properly installed. See the
Installation Instructions.
• Check household plumbing for leaks.
Basket crooked
• Was the washer basket pulled forward during loading?
Push the basket to the center before starting wash.
• Is the load balanced and the laundry center level? The
wash load should be balanced and not overloaded. The
laundry center must be level. Ensure that the leveling legs are
properly installed. See the Installation Instructions.
• The washer basket moves while washing. This is normal.
Agitator operation
• The top of the agitator is loose, or moves in only one
direction. This is normal.
Dispenser clogged (on some models)
1. Follow the "Installation Instructions" to locate, level, and
connect the laundry center.
2. Run the washer through the Normal cycle with 1 scoop or
cap full of detergent to clean the washer and remove the
antifreeze, if used.
Did you follow the manufacturer's directions when adding
fabric softener to the dispenser (on some models)?
Measure fabric softener and carefully pour into the dispenser.
Wipe up all spills. Dilute fabric softener in the fabric softener
dispenser.

wash load should be balanced and not overloaded. The
laundry center must be level. The front feet should be
properly installed and the nuts tightened. Reset the rear
leveling legs (if needed). See the Installation Instructions.
• Did you completely remove the yellow shipping strap with
cotter pins? See the Installation Instructions.
Washer stops, won't fill, rinse or agitate
• Checkthe following:
Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet?
Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined up
with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right slightly
and pull to start.
Are the water inlet valve screens clogged?
Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on?
Is the water inlet hose kinked?
• Does the water level seem too low, or does the washer
appear to not fill completely? The top of the agitator is
much higher than the highest water level. This is normal and
necessary for clothes to move freely.

call an electrician.
