What to do
Measure your detergent carefully. Use less soap if you have soft water,
a smaller load or a lightly soiled load. Switch to HE
U e s e l s s e d r e t e g . t n U e s s e l
load or a lightly soiled load.
Make sure hose connections are tight at faucets and rubber
washers are installed. Make sure end of drain hose is correctly
inserted in and secured to drain facility.
Check household plumbing. You may need to call a plumber.
Tighten hoses at the faucets and turn the water off after each
use. Check condition of the fill hoses; they should be replaced
every 5 years.
New laundry detergents have been formulated to work with
cooler water temperatures without affecting wash performance.
Turn both hot and cold faucets fully on and make sure hoses are
connected to correct faucets.
Turn off the water source and remove the water connection hoses
from the upper back of the washer. Use a brush or toothpick to
clean the screens in the machine. Reconnect the hoses and turn
the water back on.
Make sure house water heater is delivering water at 120°F
(48°C).
Reset cycle.
Straighten drain hose and make sure washer is not sitting on it.
Top of drain outlet should be less than 8 ft (2.5 m) above floor.
The washer may pause during the spin cycle to remove soapy
water more efficiently.
The pump leaves a little water in its intake and this is diluted
with clean rinse water.
