for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Washer not level. Water may splash off basket if washer is not level.
Fill hoses not attached tightly. Tighten fill-hose connection.
Make sure all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated.
Drain hose connection Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to
drainpipe or laundry tub.
Check household plumbing
for leaks or clogged sink or drain.
Water can backup out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all
household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water pipes,
and faucets.)
Fill hose washers
Water Leaks
Check the following for
proper installation:
Do not place tape over drain opening.
An unbalanced load can cause basket to be out of alignment and
cause water to splash off tub. See “Using Your Washer” for loading
instructions.
Washer not loaded as
recommended.
Not enough water
in washer
Load not completely covered
in water.
This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load will not
be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes and adds
correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See “What’s New under
the Lid.”
IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. The added water lifts
the load off the washplate, resulting in less cleaning.
Washer not performing as expected
Washer won’t run or fill,
washer stops working
Check for proper water supply.
Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to
inlet valve.
Both Hot and Cold water faucets must be turned on.
Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged.
