L 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?
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 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 washer fills and drains with
out running:
• 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 levei 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!')
