or wash light remains
on (indicating that the
washer was unable to fill
appropriately) (cont.)
Check proper electrical supply.
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.
Normal washer operation.
Lid must be closed for washer to run.
Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle. Do not
interrupt cycle.
Washer may be tightly packed.
Remove several items, rearrange load evenly in basket. Close lid
and press START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid.
Do not add more than one or two additional items after cycle has
started to avoid tightly packing or unbalancing.
Do not add more water to the washer.
Washer not draining/
spinning, loads are still
wet, or spin light remains
on (indicating that the
washer was unable to
pump out water within
10 minutes)
Small items may have been caught
in pump or between basket and tub,
which can slow draining.
Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items.
Use a cycle with a low spin speed.
Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/spin speed
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.
The washer may be tightly packed
or unbalanced.
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 the Drain/
Spin cycle to remove excess water. See the “Using Your Washer”
section for loading recommendations.
Check plumbing for correct drain
hose installation. Drain hose
extends into standpipe farther
than 4.5" (114 mm).
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 96" (2.4 m)
above the floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose.
Too much detergent causing suds to
slow or stop draining and spinning.
Always measure and follow detergent directions for your load.
To remove extra suds, select Rinse/Spin. Do not add detergent.
