  • Our wtw5057lwo washing machine seems out of balance.
    What can we do to fix this problem?

  • User Non avatar #100562 Asia1 year ago

    If the washing machine Vibration or Off-Balance: 

    Causes: Feet may not be in contact with the floor and locked.

    • Solution: Front and rear feet must be in firm contact with floor, and washer must be level to operate properly.

    Causes: Washer may not be level. 

    • Solution: Check floor for flexing or sagging. If flooring is uneven, a 3/4" (19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.

    Causes: Load could be unbalanced.

    • Solution:
      • Load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket could unbalance washer.
      • Do not tightly pack. Avoid washing single items.
      • Use Bulky Items/Sheets cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items such as jackets and small comforters.

    How can I get it to just rinse cycle?

  • User Non avatar #102505 United States1 year ago

    This model does not have a Rinse only option.

  • User Non avatar #48156 United States1 year ago

    When I choose extra rinse,the clicker goes extra long and then does not ever drain & spin. This only happens with extra rinse. I have to go to the other cycle of Drain & Spin to complete.
