or fill, washer stops

(cont.)
Washer not draining/
spinning, loads are
still wet
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible Causes
Check proper electrical supply.
Normal washer operation.
Washer may be tightly packed.
Not using HE detergent or using
too much HE detergent.
Empty pockets and use garment
bags for small items.
Using cycles with a lower spin
speed.
The washer may be tightly
packed or unbalanced.
Check plumbing for correct
drain hose installation. Drain
hose extends into standpipe
farther than 114 mm (4,5").
Solution
Plug power cord into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
Ensure there is power to outlet.
Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.
NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Lid must be closed for washer to run.
Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle.
Do not interrupt cycle.
Washer may be stopped to reduce suds.
The washer senses the dry load with short spins that may take 2
or 3 minutes before water is added. You may hear the hum of the
spins. This is normal.
Remove several garments, rearrange load evenly around the
washplate. Do not load garments directly over the center of the
wasplate. Close lid and press START/PAUSE/UNLOCK.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
Do not add more water to the washer.
Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents can slow
or stop the washer. Always measure detergent and following
detergent directions based on your load requirements.
To remove suds, cancel cycle. Select RINSE & SPIN. Press START/
PAUSE/UNLOCK. Do not add more detergent.
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.
Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 1,25 m (4') above the floor.
Remove any clogs from drain hose.
