TROUBLESHOOTING – WASHER cont.
In the U.S.A. In Canada
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Normal washer operation. Door must be closed for washer to run.
Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle. Do not
interrupt cycle.
Washer spins the dry load for several minutes before filling to
determine if load is balanced. You may hear the hum of the spins.
This is normal.
Washer not loaded as
recommended.
Remove several items, rearrange load evenly in basket and add
detergent. Close door and press PUSH TO START.
Do not add more than 1 or 2 additional items after cycle has started
to avoid tightly packing or unbalancing.

Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
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 Spin. Load
may need to be rearranged to allow even distribution of the load in
the basket.
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.
Washer not draining/
spinning, loads are
still wet
Washer not loaded as recommended. Tightly packing or unbalanced loads will not allow the washer to
spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. 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.
Washer won’t run
or fill, washer stops
working (cont.)
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 and Spin. Do not add detergent.
Plug into a grounded outlet or reconnect power.
Do not use an extension cord.
Ensure there is power to outlet.
Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.
NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Check proper electrical supply.
