Solutions
ü
Remove the load immediately after it
finishes.
Do not overload the tub.
ü
ü
Hot water rinse can cause garments
to wrinkle. Check the inlet hose
connections.
ü
Make sure that the plug is secured in a
grounded 3-prong, 120 V (60 Hz) outlet.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace the
ü
fuse. Do not increase the fuse capacity.
If the problem is a circuit overload,
have it corrected by a qualified
electrician.
ü
The washing machine has a safety lock
built into the door to prevent burning.
Leave the door closed and wait until
the door lock icon disappears from the
display.
Allow the washer to complete the
ü
programmed cycle, or press the SPIN
button.
This is normal. The washing machine
ü
automatically adjusts the cycle time for
the amount of laundry, water pressure,
water temperature, and other operating
conditions.
ü
Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
recommended for a front-loading
washing machine.
See page 30, clean the inside and
ü
outside of the washing machine
periodically.
ü
Water hammer is not caused by a
defect in the washer. Install water
hammer arrestors (purchased
separately at hardware or home
improvement store) between the fill
hose and the washer for best results.
Adjust household water supply
ü
regulator to a lower pressure or
contact a plumber to have a regulator
installed.
