If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Feet may not be in contact with the
floor and locked.
Front and rear feet must be in firm contact with floor, and washer
must be level to operate properly. Jam nuts must be tight
against the bottom of the cabinet.
Check floor for flexing or sagging. If flooring is uneven, a 3/4"
(19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.
See “Level the Washer” in the “Installation Instructions”.
Load could be unbalanced. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket
could unbalance washer.
Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as a
rug or jeans jacket with a few extra items. If the dial is flashing,
redistribute the load, close the lid, and press START/PAUSE.
Use Bulky Item cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items
such as comforters or poly-filled jackets. Other items are
not appropriate for Bulky Items cycle. See “Cycle Guide”.
Item or load not suitable for selected cycle. See “Cycle Guide”
and “Using Your Washer” in this “Use and Care Guide”.
Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins
could fall between basket and tub or may block pump.
It may be necessary to call for service to remove items.
