wash tub)
Check the following:
Is the drain hose kinked or clogged?
Is the drain hose installed properly? See “Connect the
Drain Hose” in the Installation Instructions.
Press POWER/CANCEL to clear display.
■ ■
“uL” (Unbalanced Load)
If the load is unbalanced, the washer will display this code
while running an imbalanced load correction routine at the end
of the wash cycle and before the final spin. If the code remains
and the wash cycle dial is flashing after the recovery routine
has stopped, open lid and redistribute the load. Close lid and
press START/PAUSE.
■ ■
“oL” (Over Load)
Is the washer overloaded? The washer has attempted to fill
and begin the wash cycle. If the washer is overloaded, it will
drain any water and detergent that was added during the fill. To
correct the overload, remove several items and add detergent.
Close lid and press START/PAUSE.
■ ■
“Sd” (Suds Detected)
Did you use regular detergent?
Regular or non-HE hand-washing detergents are not
recommended for this washer.
Did you add too much detergent?
Always measure detergent carefully. Follow detergent
manufacturer’s directions. Remember, concentrated detergents
such as 2x or higher will use less detergent based on load size.
If excessive suds are detected, the washer will display this code
while running a suds reduction correction routine at the end
of the wash cycle. The suds reduction routine removes extra
suds and assures proper rinsing of your garments. If the code
remains and the wash cycle dial is flashing after the recovery
routine has stopped, re-select your desired cycle using cold
water. Press START/PAUSE. Do not add detergent.
■ ■
“lid” (Lid Opened)
Is the lid open? Close the lid to clear the display. If the lid
remains open for more than 10 minutes, water in the wash tub
will drain.
■ ■
“HC” (Cold and Hot hoses switched)
This code will appear at the end of the wash cycle to indicate
that the cold and hot water inlet hoses are switched. See
“Connect the Inlet Hoses” in the Installation Instructions.
■ ■
“dL” (Door/Lid cannot lock)
Indicates lid is not locked. Check for items caught in the lid
keeping it from closing. Press POWER/CANCEL once to clear
the code.
■ ■
“dU” (Door/Lid cannot unlock)
Is there excessive weight on the lid, such as a basket of
laundry? Excessive weight will keep the lid from unlocking.
Press POWER/CANCEL once to clear the code.
■ ■
“f##” code
Press POWER/CANCEL once to clear code. Press START/PAUSE
to continue cycle. If code appears again, call for service.
■ ■
“fd” (factory Default)
This code will appear when your washer sets back to factory
default.
To return all options and modifiers to Factory Default, press
POWER/CANCEL, select Drain & Spin cycle, and then press
Extra Rinse, Fabric Softener, Extra Rinse, Fabric Softener within
5 seconds. When done correctly, the 7-segment displays show
“Fd” for 3 seconds and then unit returns to Standby Mode.
Noisy, vibrating, off-balance
Is the washer level? Does the washer rock when pushed
■ ■
against the corners?
The washer must be level. The front and rear feet must
be in firm contact with the floor. Check that the locknuts
are tightened. See “Level the Washer” in the Installation
Instructions.
Is the floor flexing, sagging, or not level?
■ ■
Flooring that flexes or is uneven can contribute to noise and
vibration of the washer. A 3 ⁄
4

under the washer will reduce the sounds. See “Location
Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
Is the load balanced?
■ ■
Evenly distribute the load in the washer basket and make sure
the height of the load does not exceed the top row of basket
holes. See “Starting Your Washer.”
Do you hear clicking or other noises when the cycle changes
■ ■
from washing to draining or spinning?
When the drive system shifts or the washer basket settles
between cycles, you may hear noises that are different from
your previous washer. These are normal washer noises.
Is the washer gurgling or humming?

When the washer drains, the pump will make a continuous
humming with periodic gurgling or surging sounds as the final
amounts of water are removed. This is normal.
Are you washing a small load?
■ ■
You will hear more splashing sounds when washing small
loads. This is normal.
The washer basket moves while washing.
