Solution
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 19 mm
(3/4") piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.
See "Level the Washer" in Installation Instructions.
Load dry items in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.
Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket
could unbalance washer.
Wash smaller loads to reduce imbalance.
Do not tightly pack. Avoid washing single items.
Use Super Plus or Large water level and the Normal Regular
cycle and for oversized, non-absorbent items such as
comforters or poly-filled jackets.
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.
It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps,
buckles, or zippers touch against the basket.
It is normal to hear the pump making a continuous humming
sound with periodic gurgling or surging as final amounts of
water are removed during the Drain & Spin cycles.
Humming Load sensing may be occurring. You may hear the hum of the sensing spins after you have
started the washer. This is normal.
Check the following for Washer not level. Water may splash off basket if washer is not level. Check that

Tighten fill-hose connection.
Make sure all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated.
Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to
drainpipe or laundry tub.
Do not place tape over drain opening.
Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check
all household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe,
water pipes, and faucets.)
Improper loading can cause basket to be out of alignment
and cause water to splash off tub. See "Using Your Washer"
for loading instructions.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to
