TROUBLESHOOTING
Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
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/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.
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.
Washer not draining/
spinning, loads are
still wet
Washer not loaded properly.
Reduce load size to improve water removal. A tightly packed load
may not allow the washer to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter
than normal.
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.
