• Drain hose is bent, pinched,
or clogged.
• The drain filter is clogged.
• Water supply taps are not
open fully.
• Water line hoses are kinked,
pinched, or bent.
• Water inlet filters are clogged.
• Water pressure to tap or
house is too low.
• Power cord is not properly
plugged in.
• House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
• The door is not closed
properly.
• Interior temperature of washer
is too high.
• Water level in washer is
too high.
• The washer automatically
adjusts the wash time for
the amount of laundry, water
pressure, water temperature,
and other operating conditions.
• Incorrect or too much
detergent has been used.
• Inside of tub not cleaned
properly.
• This is normal.
Solutions
• Make sure the drain hose is free of clogs, kinks, etc.,
and is not pinched behind or under the washer.
• Clean the drain filter. See the Care and Cleaning
section.
• Make sure that the water taps are open fully.
• Make sure the hoses are not kinked or pinched. Be
careful when moving the washer.
• Clean the inlet filters. See the Care and Cleaning
section.
• Check another faucet in the house to make sure that
household water pressure is adequate.
• Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a
grounded, 3-prong, 120-VAC, 60-Hz. outlet.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase
fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload,
have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
• Make sure that the door is closed properly and press
the START/PAUSE button. After starting a cycle, it
may take a few moments before the drum begins to
turn or spin. The washer will not spin unless the door
is locked (DOOR LOCK will appear in the display).
• If the door is closed and locked and the open door
error message is displayed, call for service.
• The washer door has a safety lock to prevent burns.
Allow the washer to cool until the DOOR LOCK
indicator turns off in the display.
• Allow the washer to complete the programmed cycle,
or run the DRAIN & SPIN cycle to drain the water.
• This is normal. The washer adjusts cycle time
automatically to provide optimal results for the
selected cycle.
• Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Run the TUB CLEAN cycle regularly. Be sure to wipe
around and under the door seal frequently.
• Because it uses pressurized steam, the washer
requires very small amounts of steam to achieve
optimal results. Excess steam could damage fabrics
and reduce efficiency.
