TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
If you experience
Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Washer not draining/
spinning, loads are
still wet or spin light
remains on (indicating
that the washer was
unable to pump out
water within ten
minutes)
Dry spots on load
after cycle
Incorrect or wrong
wash or rinse
temperatures
Load not rinsed
Possible Causes
Empty pockets and use garment bags
for small items.
Use a cycle with a low spin speed.
The washer may be tightly packed
or unbalanced.
Check plumbing for correct drain
hose installation. Drain hose extends
into standpipe farther than 4.5"
(114 mm).
Wrong or too much detergent
causing suds to slow or stop
draining and spinning.
High speed spins extract more
moisture than traditional top-load
washers.
Check for proper water supply.
Energy-saving controlled
wash temperatures.
Check for proper water supply.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Washer may be tightly packed.
Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket
and tub, which can slow draining.
Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your garment. To remove extra water in the load, select
DRAIN & SPIN. Load may need to be rearranged to allow even
distribution of the load in the basket.
Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer
to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly
arrange the wet load for balanced spinning. Select DRAIN &
SPIN to remove excess water. See "Using Your Washer" for
loading recommendations.
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form and
securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over drain opening.
For models with 1C prefix, lower drain hose if the end is higher
than 96" (2.4 m). For models with 2D prefix, lower drain hose
if end is higher than 48" (1.22 m). Remove any clogs from drain
hose.
Use only HE detergent. Always measure and follow detergent
directions for your load. To remove extra suds, select RINSE &
SPIN. Do not add detergent.
The high spin speeds combined with air flow during the final
spin can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry
spots during the final spin. This is normal.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet, and
have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.
This washer uses cooler wash and rinse water temperatures
than your previous washer. This includes cooler hot and warm
washes.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the
inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.
Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
The suds from regular detergent can keep washer
from operating correctly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions
based on load size and soil level.
The washer is less efficient at rinsing when load is tightly
packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
