Check proper electrical supply. Plug power cord into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
Ensure there is power to outlet.
Check electrical source or call an electrician to check if voltage is low.
Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.
NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Normal washer operation. Door must be completely closed and latched for washer to run.
Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle. Do not interrupt cycle.
The washer pauses for about 2 minutes during certain cycles. Allow the
cycle to continue. Some cycles feature periods of tumbling and soak.
Washer may be stopped to reduce suds.
Cold Wash uses less water in the beginning of the cycle to provide a
high concentration of detergent for optimal cleaning action. Following this
concentrated tumbling, more water is used to complete the wash.
Steam Models only: During the first 20 minutes of the Clean Washer
with affresh ® cycle, it will activate the steamer but the drum will not spin
or fill with water. You may see condensation on the door glass during this
initial phase. If you are using an affresh ® Washer Cleaner tablet, it will not
dissolve completely during the steam phase. This is normal.
The washer door is not firmly shut. The door must be closed during operation.
Washer not loaded as
recommended.
Remove several items, rearrange load evenly in washer drum. Close door
and touch and hold START.
Do not add more than 1 or 2 additional items after cycle has started to
avoid tightly packing or unbalancing.
Do not add more water to the washer.
