Troubleshooting

• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.

• Straighten drain hoses. Eliminate kinked hoses. If there is a home drain restriction,

call for drain service.

• Close lid and pull knob out to start the washer. For your safety, washer will not spin

unless the lid is closed.

• Suds lock – caused by too much suds. Rewash without detergent. Use correct

amount of a low-sudsing detergent.

• Unevenly distributed load. Redistribute the load, close the lid and pull knob out.

Check for leveling. Be sure water level is acceptable for load size.

• A normal spin speed is recommended for heavy loads like jeans or towels.

• Plug cord into live electrical outlet.

• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.

• Turn the control knob to proper cycle and pull knob out to start the washer.

• Close lid and pull knob out to start the washer. For your safety, washer will not spin

unless lid is closed.

• This may be a pause in the cycle. Wait briefly and it may start.

• Make sure hose connections are tight.

• Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to drain facility.

• Avoid extended soaking – soak for 30 minutes or less.

• Avoid overloading.

• Be sure washer is leveled properly as outlined in installation manual.

• Weak floors can cause vibration and walking.

• Operating sounds will vary depending on agitation speed.

• Turn both faucets on fully.

• If equipped with a temperature selector knob, be sure it is set directly on a

temperature setting and not between settings.

• Make sure temperature selection is correct.
• If Auto Temperature Control (select models) is selected, cold water may feel warmer

than cold water from the tap. (See pages 5 and 7).

• Make sure hoses are connected to correct faucets and inlet connections. Be sure

water supply is regulated correctly. Flush water line before filling washer.

• Check the water heater. It should be set to deliver a minimum 120° F (49° C) hot

water at the tap. Also check water heater capacity and recovery rate.

• Disconnect hoses and clean screens. Hose filter screens may be plugged.

• Extra Rinse (select models) is selected.
