If you need service or assistance,
Mve
suggest you foUow these five steps:
!• Before calling for
assistance...
Performance problems often result
from little things you can find and fix
yourself without tools of any kind.
If your washer does not fill:
• Is the power supply cord plugged
into a live circuit with the proper
voltage?
• Are both water faucets open?
• Have you checked your home's
main fuses or circuit breaker box?
• Are the water supply hoses kinked?
• Is the Cycle Control Knob set and
pulled out?
• Is Selector Switch set in the WASHER
position?
If your washer does not spin:
• Is the lid closed?
• Is the power supply cord plugged
into a live circuit with the proper
voltage?
Have you checked your home's
main fuses or circuit breaker box?
If your washer drains at the wrong
time:
• The drain hose should be at least 28
inches above the floor and secured.
• The drain hose should not fit tight­
ly in the drain pipe.
• Make sure that the Cycle Control
Knob is pointing to a number in the
cycle.
Make sure the drain hose is higher
than the water level in the washer. If
it isn’t...
• The washer may seem to be drain­
ing during wash and rinse cycles.
• Water can siphon out. (See "Installa­
tion Instructions."]
If your washer stops during the per­
manent press cycle:
• Remember, the washer will stop for
about 2 minutes after the partial
drain during the cool-down period
in this cycle.
If your dryer does not run or heat:
• Is the power supply cord plugged
Into a live circuit with the proper
voltage?
• Is the door closed tightly?
• Did you push START?
• Have you checked your home's
main fuses or circuit breaker box?
• The AIR setting is without heat.
• The last minutes of heat settings
are without heat. See page 14.
• Is Selector Switch set in the DRYER
position?
If drying times seem too long:
• Is the lintscreen clean? See page 17
of this book for cleaning instructions.

"Laundry Guide."
