The load is too small.
• Add additional items to allow the washer to balance the load.
Heavy articles are mixed with lighter items.
• Always try to wash articles of somewhat similar weight to allow the washer to evenly
distribute the weight of the load for spinning.
The load is out of balance.
• Manually redistribute the load if articles have become tangled, preventing the automatic
rebalancing from working properly.
Water supply faucets are not fully open.
• Make sure that the water faucets are fully open.
Water inlet hoses are kinked, pinched, or crushed.
• Make sure that the hoses are not kinked, pinched or crushed behind or under the washer.
Be careful when moving the washer during cleaning or maintenance.
Water inlet filters are clogged.
• Clean the inlet filters. See MAINTENANCE.
Water supply pressure to faucet or house is too low.
• Check another faucet in the house to make sure that household water pressure is
adequate and flow is not restricted.
• Disconnect the water inlet hoses from the washer and run a few gallons of water through
the hoses to flush out any dirt.
• If flow is too low, contact a plumber to have the water supply lines repaired.
Water supply connected with leak-limiting hoses.
• The use of hoses designed to limit leaks is not recommended. Leak-limiting hoses can trip
falsely and prevent the washer from filling.
Drain hose is kinked, pinched, or clogged.
• Make sure that the drain hose is free of clogs or kinks and is not pinched behind or under
the washer.
The end of the drain hose is more than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the bottom of the
washer.
• Move the end of the drain hose so that it is lower than 96 inches (2.4 m).
The control lock function is on to prevent anyone from changing cycles or operating
the washer.
• Turn off the control lock function in the control panel. See Control Lock under Options
and Extra Functions.
