Possible Causes
y Did you remove the load immediately after it finished?
y Did you overload the tub?
y Did you reverse the hot and cold water inlets?
y Is the power cord plugged in properly?
y Has a house fuse blown, a circuit breaker tripped, or a
power outage occurred?
y Is the temperature in the tub too high?
y Is the water level in washer high?
y Is the washing machine overloaded? Are other options
added to the wash cycle?
y Has the incorrect detergent been used?
y Did you clean the tub periodically?
y Plumbing in the home moves or flexes when the water
valves in the washer shut off.
y Household water supply pressure is very high.
y This odor is caused by the rubber attached to the
washing machine.
y If the rubber door gasket and door seal area
are not cleaned regularly, odors can occur from
mold or foreign substances.
y Odors can occur if foreign substances are left in
the drainage pump filter.
y Odors can occur if the drainage hose is not
properly installed, causing siphoning (water
flowing back inside the washing machine).
y Using the dry function, odors can occur from lint
and other laundry matter sticking to the heater.
(Dryer model only)
y A particular odor can occur from drying wet
clothes with hot air. (Dryer model only)

Solutions
y Remove the load immediately after it finishes.
y Do not overload the tub.
y Hot water rinse can cause garments to wrinkle. Check
the inlet hose connections.
y Make sure that the plug is secured in a grounded
3-prong, 120 V (60 Hz) outlet.
y Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse. Do not
increase the fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit
overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
y The washing machine has a safety lock built into the
door to prevent burning. Leave the door closed and wait
until the door lock icon disappears from the display.
y Allow the washer to complete the programmed cycle,
or Press the SPIN button.
y This is normal. The washing machine automatically
adjusts the cycle time for the amount of laundry, water
pressure, water temperature, and other operating
conditions.
y Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent recommended
for a front-loading washing machine.
y See page 30, clean the inside and outside of the
washing machine periodically.
y Water hammer is not caused by a defect in the washer.
Install water hammer arrestors (purchased separately at
hardware or home improvement store) between the fill
hose and the washer for best results.
y Adjust household water supply regulator to a lower
pressure or contact a plumber to have a regulator
installed.
y It is the normal odor of new rubber and will disappear
after the machine has been run a few times.
y Be sure to clean the gasket and door seal regularly and
check under the door seal for small items when unloading
the washer.
y Be sure to clean the drainage pump filter regularly.
y When installing the drainage hose, be sure that it doesn't
become kinked or blocked.
y This is not a malfunction.
y The odor will disappear after a short while.
