unable to pump out
water within 10 minutes
Empty pockets and use garment
bags for small items.
Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket
and tub, which can slow draining.
Use a cycle with a low spin speed. Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed
spin for your garment. To remove extra water in the load, select
Drain & Spin. Load may need to be rearranged to allow even
distribution of the load in the basket.
The washer may be tightly packed
or unbalanced.
Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer
to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly
arrange the wet load for balanced spinning. Select the Drain &
Spin cycle to remove excess water. See “Using Your Washer” for
loading recommendations.
Check plumbing for correct drain
hose installation. Drain hose
extends into standpipe farther
than 4.5" (114 mm).
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form
and securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over drain
opening. Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m)
above the floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose.
Too much detergent causing
suds to slow or stop draining
and spinning.
Always measure and follow detergent directions for your load.
To remove extra suds, select Rinse & Spin. Do not add
detergent.
