Your washer is equipped with Consumer Help Indicator (CHI). CHI is our way to communicate a simple remedy for some situations
that you can perform without the need to call for service. The chart below describes the helpful messages you may notice on your
display when you return to start another load. These messages will provide simple remedies you can quickly perform.
Spin light
blinking
If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the remaining portion of
the cycle and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer is taking
actions to correct the out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may
not be able to balance the load and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end of
the cycle, redistribute the load evenly in the wash basket and run a Spin cycle. To run a Spin cycle, select the
Normal cycle and press the Process button until only the Spin light is on.
Check your house water supply. Did you forget to turn on one or both supply valves after installation or coming
back from vacation?
